THE  LUNDY  FAMILY. 

The  Lundy  lineage,  so  far  as  known,  begins  with  three 
names,  which  represent  three  successive  generations — father, 
son,  and  grandson. 

First.  The  father  was  Sylvester  Lundy  of  Axminster, 
County  of  Devon,  England ;  our  only  known  ancestor  in  the 
Lundy  Hne  who  lived  and  died  in  the  Old  World. 

Second.  The  son  was  Richard  Lundy  the  First,  born  in 
England,  a  resident  of  Axminster,  an  emigrator  to  the  New 
World  in  1676,  a  settler  in  Bucks  County,  Pennsylvania,  and 
the  Founder  of  the  Lundy  Family  in  America.  He  was  an 
Elder  in  the  Religious  Society  of  Friends. 

Third.  The  grandson  was  Richard  Lundy  the  Second,  the 
first  American-born  Lundy.  He  was  born  in  the  County  of 
Bucks,  Pennsylvania,  in  1692 ;  and  died  in  the  County  of 
Warren,  New  Jersey,  in  1772.  He  was  an  Elder  in  the  Relig- 
ious Society  of  Friends,  and  was  active  at  the  organization  of 
three  new  Meetings,  or  Churches,  in  the  wilderness — the  Buck- 
ingham, the  Plumstead,  and  the  Hardwick.  From  this  Rich- 
ard the  Second  have  sprung  numerous  Lundy  households, 
which  are  now  widely  scattered  throughout  the  United  States 
and  Canada. 

We  will  now  speak  more  fully  concerning  each  of  these  three 
men. 

Sylvester  Lundy. 

Very  brief,  indeed,  is  the  account  that  has  come  down  to  us 
concerning  this  man  who  leads  the  list  of  our  Lundy  fore- 
fathers. We  know  his  name  and  the  town  he  lived  in  and  that 
he  begot  a  son  Richard.  These  items,  so  meager  and  barely 
sufficient  for  the  inscription  on  a  tombstone,  comprise  the  whole 
record;  there  is  nothing  else  known  about  him.  No  definite 
answer  can  be  given  to  the  many  queries  which  naturally  arise 
concerning  his  rank,  occupation  and  religious  belief,  his  wife, 
and  his  other  children,  if  others  there  were,  and  his  parentage 
and  remote  ancestry. 


0  SYL\ESTER   LUNDY. 

But  our  autliority  for  what  little  we  do  know  is  excellent ;  and 
a  great  satisfaction  it  is  to  have  the  history  of  the  Lundy 
Family  open,  not  with  some  vague  tantalizing  tradition,  but 
with  matter  of  early  historical  record.  Our  authority  is  an 
official  entry  which  was  made  about  1685  i"  a  book  kept  by  a 
public  officer  in  pursuance  of  a  colonial  law.  The  entry  begins 
thus  :  "Richard  Lundy.  of  Axminster,  in  the  County  of  Devon, 
son  of  Sylvester  Lundy,  of  the  said  town  in  old  England  .  .  ." 
These  words,  as  it  will  appear  when  we  describe  more  fully  the 
document  from  which  they  are  quoted,  were  undoubtedly  taken 
down  by  the  Register  of  Bucks  County,  Pennsylvania,  from  the 
lips  of  Richard  himself. 

We  have  now  told  all  that  is  known  about  Sylvester  Lundy 
and  have  given  our  authority ;  and  yet  although  we  have  a  long 
genealogical  story  to  tell,  we  cannot  pass  on  at  once,  but  feel 
that  we  must  pause  and  muse  in  reverent  spirit  as  by  the  side 
of  an  ancient  grave  newly-found  wherein  rests  one  of  whom  we 
would  fain  learn  more. 

Here,  too.  seems  to  be  the  appropriate  place  in  our  narrative 
to  introduce  a  short  account  of  Axminster,  "the  said  town  in 
old  England."  the  trans-atlantic  home  of  our  ancestor  Svlvester 
Lundy. 

What  and  where  is  Axminster,  and  why  was  it  so  named? 
Devon  is  one  of  the  southern  counties  of  England,  and  Axmin- 
ster is  one  of  the  southern  towns  of  Devon.  It  is  a  small 
market-town  with  less  than  three  thousand  inhabitants,  on  the 
river  Axe,  three  miles  from  the  English  Channel.  It  is  much  too 
small  to  be  on  the  map  in  a  common  geography ;  on  a  map  of 
larger  scale,  it  will  be  found  on  the  southern  coast-line  of  Eng- 
land a  little  west  of  the  Isle  of  Wight.  How  came  the  place  to 
have  that  name?  The  word  minster  has  the  same  origin  as  the 
word  monastery,  and  means  a  church,  a  place  of  worship,  and 
hence  Axminster  means  the  church  on  the  river  Axe.  More 
than  a  thousand  years  ago  King  Aethelstan  of  England  defeated 
the  heathen  Danes,  who  had  invaded  his  realm,  in  a  great  battle 
on  the  banks  of  the  river  Axe ;  and  in  his  gratitude  he  erected  a 
church  on  the  field  of  his  victory  and  called  it  Axminster. 
Gradually  a  village  grew  up  around  the  church,  and  the  name 
Axminster  was  then  used  to  designate  the  town  as  well  as  the 
sacred  edifice.  Some  persons  who  were  carpet-weavers  by 
trade  settled  there  and  made  the  place  famous  by  the  excellency 


RICHAEID  LUNDY  I.  7 

and  peculiar  style  of  their  handiwork;  and  although  this  par- 
ticular form  of  industry  long  ago  lost  its  characteristic  import- 
ance at  that  village,  yet  the  word  Axminster  as  designating  a 
certain  make  of  carpet  is  still  used  everywhere  in  the  commer- 
cial world. 

Richard  Lundy  the  First. 

Richard  Lundy  I.,  the  only  known  child  of  Sylvester, 
was  the  Founder  of  the  Lundy  Family  in  America.  Richard 
left  his  native  land  for  the  New  World  during  Sixth  month, 
1676,  a  date  easily  remembered,  being  exactly  one  hundred 
years  before  the  Declaration  of  Independence.  Sixth  month 
was  August,  for  in  those  times  March  was  counted  the  first 
month  of  the  year.  He  sailed  from  Bristol,  an  important  sea 
port  on  the  western  coast  of  England,  and  landed  at  Boston  in 
the  province  of  Massachusetts.  He  remained  in  New  England 
among  the  Puritans  nearly  six  years;  but  not  a  single  item  of 
information  concerning  his  place  of  residence  or  his  experience 
during  that  interval  has  come  down  to  us.  From  history,  we 
know  that  it  was  an  uneventful  period  for  the  people  of  Nf  v 
England,  a  period  of  rest  after  their  terrific  conflict  against  the 
confederated  Indians  under  King  Philip.  Richard's  sojourn 
among  the  Puritans  ended  in  1682;  on  the  19th  of  3rd  month 
(May)  in  that  year,  he  embarked  and  sailed  for  the  Delaware 
river.  What  motives  he  had  for  leaving  New  England,  we  do 
not  know ;  but  we  do  know  that  Pennsylvania  was  just  at  that 
time  being  energetically  boomed  as  an  ideal  home  for  settlers. 

William  Penn,  the  grandest  figure  in  American  colonial  his- 
tory, was  so  good  that  we  sometimes  forget  how  wise  and 
shrewd  he  was.  Penn  got  his  charter  from  Charles  II.  in 
March,  1781,  and  immediately  published  a  circular  describing 
his  new  country  in  glowing  terms ;  he  then  began  to  issue  a 
series  of  public  letters,  which  kept  his  colony  before  the  eyes  of 
the  world ;  and  finally  the  great  Proprietor  himself  set  sail  and 
reached  Pennsylvania  during  the  last  week  in  October,  1682, 
and  founded  the  city  of  Philadelphia.  The  total  population  of 
Pennsylvania  at  that  time  was  estimated  at  six  thousand;  and 
immigrants  continued  to  arrive  at  the  rate  of  one  thousand  a 
year. 

Richard  Lundy  came  to  Pennsylvania  in  1682;  two  years 
later  he  secured  some  real  estate  and  took  to  himself  a  wife. 

In  the  Minutes  of  the  Board  of  Property  of  the  Province  of 


8  klCllAlUJ  LUNDY  i. 

Pennsylvania,  under  date  of  15  of  12  month,  1702,  the  following 
entry  is  found :  "The  Prop'ry,  by  a  Patent,  dated  6,  5  month, 
1684,  Granted  to  Rich'd  Lundy  200  Acres  of  Land  Situate  in 
the  County  of  Bucks  at  a  penny  pr.  Acre,  laid  out  10,  6  month, 
1682-3.  R'd  Lundy  by  Ind'r  dated  8,  7  month,  1683,  Granted 
the  Said  Land  to  Jacob  Telnor."  See  Pennsylvania  Archives, 
Second  Series,  vol.  xix.,  page  359. 

He  came  to  the  Delaware  river  in  1682 ;  and,  so  far  as  the 
records  show,  he  seems  to  have  made  his  tirst  purchase  of  land 
in  1684;  hence  it  is  surprising  to  find  the  name  of  Richard 
Lundy  on  a  map  of  that  river  dated  1681.  It  is  suggested  that 
the  map  may  have  been  at  first  an  outline  sketch,  and  that  the 
names  of  new-comers  who  took  up  land  may  have  been  inserted 
afterward.  Mr.  W.  J.  Buck  in  his  history  of  Bucks  county 
names  Richard  Lundy  among  the  original  owners  of  land  in 
Bristol  township. 

ihere  was  at  that  time  living  in  Falls  township  a  widow, 
Rebecca  Bennet,  with  her  four  unmarried  daughters,  Elizabeth, 
Rebecca,  Sarah,  and  Ann.  William  Bennet,  the  father,  then 
recently  deceased,  had  left  by  will  to  each  of  his  girls  £30  in 
money  and  200  acres  of  land.  Richard  Lundy  L  and  Elizabeth 
liennet  were  married  by  Friends'  ceremony  on  20  of  8  month, 
1684.  On  22  of  2  month,  1685,  Elizabeth  attended  the  wedding 
of  Joseph  English  and  Joan  Comly  and  signed  their  marriage 
certificate  as  one  of  the  witnesses. 

Richard  L  owns  a  farm  now  and  has  a  wife;  of  course,  he 
ought  to  keep  a  cow  or  two.  And  he  did ;  even  that  is  a  matter 
of  record,  for  he  is  described  as  an  "owner  of  cattle."  Very 
little  land  was  fenced  in ;  it  all  lay  out  to  the  common.  The 
early  settlers  allowed  their  live  stock  to  roam  at  large  through 
the  woods  and  browse  on  the  natural  grass.  Sometimes  the 
cattle  would  stray  far  away  and  be  gone  a  long  time ;  and  in 
some  cases  it  would  be  difficult  for  the  owner  to  recognize  his 
cattle  and  prove  his  right  of  property  thereto  to  the  satisfaction 
of  neighbors  or  strangers ;  and  therefore  each  settler,  before  he 
turned  his  cows  and  calves  loose  for  the  summer,  marked  each 
of  them  plainly.  He  cut  their  ears  in  a  certain  way,  or  else  he 
took  a  red-hot  iron  and  blistered  them  on  the  shoulder  leaving 
a  permanent  scar  in  the  shape  of  a  letter,  criss-cross  or  other 
character.  Marks  thus  made  were  easily  seen  and  recognized, 
and  could  be  described  with  accuracy.    Only  one  thing  was  yet 


RlCHARlD  LUNDV  I. 


necessary  for  the  successful  working  of  this  system  of  identi- 
fication ;  and  that  was  that  no  two  owners  should  use  the  same 
mark.  To  this  end,  a  registrar  was  appointed  for  the  whole 
county,  whose  duty  it  was  to  keep  in  a  book  a  list  of  all  cattle 
owners  with  the  marks  used  by  each..  Indeed,  the  law  of  the 
province  expressly  declared  that  all  cattle  whatsoever  of  a  year 
old  and  upwards  should  be  accompted  strayes  which  were  not 
marked  on  the  ear  or  otherwise  with  a  brand  mark. 

The  book  of  registered  cattle-marks  for  Bucks  county  was 
kept  by  Phineas  Pemberton  at  Penn's  Manor,  and  bears  the 
date  1684;  this  realistic  relic  of  pioneer  hfe  is  still  in  existence, 
and  may  be  seen  at  the  library  of  the  Pennsylvania  Historical 
Society  in  Philadelphia.  It  is  twelve  inches  long  by  four  wide, 
contains  about  forty  pages  and  is  margined  with  a  thumb  index. 
The  title  on  the  outside  of  the  parchment  cover  is  "A  Record  of 
the  Eare  and  Brand  Marks  for  Bucks  in  Pennsylvania/'  The 
book  contains  one  hundred  five  sets  of  ear-marks  arranged  six 
on  a  page ;  and  among  them  is  the  cattle-mark  of  Richard  the 
First,  which  is  here  reproduced. 

The  outline  sketch 
or  drawing  represents 
the  forehead  and  ears 
of  a  cow  as  she  would 
stand  facing  her 
owner.  The  left  ear 
half  way  down  on  the 
lower  edge  has  a  slit 
cut  in ;  the  right  ear 
has  a  slit  downward  at 
the  point,  and  is  also 
cropped  with  a  half- 
penny  undercut. 
Neither  ear-tip  is 
cropped.  The  original 
drawings  are  not  with- 
out a  touch  of  the  picturesque ;  all  the  natural  outline  is  in 
black,  but  all  slits  and  the  margins  of  all  crops  are  penciled  in 
red  as  though  fresh-cut. 

A  law  requiring  the  enrollment  of  all  emigrants  was  enacted 
at  New  Castle,  on  the  loth  day  of  the  3rd  month,  1684,  by  the 
Governor  and  the  Provincial  Council  and  Assembly;  and  the

saiil  law  is  lu-rcw  iili  (|U()tc(l  in  full  as  printed  on  page  170  in  a 
volume  entitled  "'['\k-  Iharter  of  William  Penn  and  Laws  of  the

1700." 

"Chap.  CLXlll.  That  there  be  a  Registry  kept  of  all  free- 
man, as  well  as  servants,  that  already  are,  or  from  time  to  time

ofifence  forfeit  five  shillings  a  head." 

Let  us  now  turn  to  the  register-book  that  was  opened  and 
kept  in  fkicks  county  as  directed  by  the  foregoing  law^  Four 
of  the  entries  found  in  it  have  a  bearing  on  the  history  of  the 
Lundy  family  and  are  given  herewith. 

"James  Harrison  of  Bolton  in  the  County  of  Lancaster,  aged 
about  57  years.  Shoemaker,  and  Ann  his  wife,  aged  about  61 
years,  Sailed  from  Liverpool,  for  this  province  in  the  ship  the 
"Submission"  of  Liverpool,  the  M"r.,  James  Settle,  the  5th  of 
the  7th  Mo.,  1682,  and  arrived  at  Choptank  in  Maryland  the 
2 1st  9th  Mo.  following,  being  brought  thither  through  the  dis- 
honesty of  the  master,  and  arrived  at  Apoquinemene  in  this 
province  the  15th  of  the  nth  Mo.  following";  and  then  the 
record  enumerates  five  persons  who  accompanied  James  and 
Ann  Harrison,  namely:  Agnes  Harrison,  aged  81  years, 
mother  of  James ;  Phebe,  daughter  of  James  Harrison  and  wife 
of  Phineas  Peml)erton ;  Robert  Bond,  Alice  Dickerson,  and 
jane  Lvon.  James  Harrison  was  a  minister  in  the  Religious 
Society  of  h'riends :  he  was  the  Stewart  of  William  Penn  and 
had  charsjv  of  reiin's  mansion  and  manor  in  Bucks  county. 


RICHARD  LUNDY  I.  II 

"William  Bennet  of  Hammondsworth  [Harmondsworth,  near 
Longford]  in  the  County  of  Middlesex,  yeoman,  and  Rebecca 
his  wife,  arrived  in  this  river  yth  Mo.,  1683,  in  the  ship  the 
''Jeffrey"'  of  London.    The  Mr.  Thomas  Arnold." 

"Richard  Lundy,  of  Axminster  in  the  County  of  Devon,  son 
of  Sylvester  Lundy  of  the  said  town  in  old  England,  came  in 
a  Catch  from  Bristol  (the  Mr.  William  Browne)  for  Boston  in 
New  England,  in  the  6th  Mo.,  1676,  and  from  thence  came  for 
this  river  [Delaware]  the  19th  of  the  3d  Mo.,  1682." 

"Elizabeth  Bennet,  daughter  of  William  Bennet  late  of  the 
County  of  Bucks,  and  now  wife  to  the  aforesaid  Richard  Lundy, 
came  from  Longford  in  the  County  of  Middlesex,  in  the  ship 
the  "Concord"  of  London.  The  Mr.  William  Jeffrey,  Arrived 
in  this  river  the  8th  Mo.,  1683." 

And  then  a  few  lines  further  down  in  the  original  record,  a 
private  memorandum  by  the  Register  of  Bucks  county  is  found, 
which  reads:  "I  have  given  C.  Taylor  an  acct.  thus  far,  ist 
3d  Mo.,  1686."  Hence  we  conclude  that  the  original  entries  just 
quoted  concerning  Richard  Lundy  and  Elizabeth  Bennet  his 
wife,  must  have  been  made  subsequently  to  the  date  of  their 
marriage,  20  of  8  month,  1684,  and  prior  to  i  of  3  month,  1686, 
the  day  on  which  the  Register  of  Bucks  county  certified  that  he 
had  furnished  an  official  transcript  to  Christopher  Taylor,  the 
Register-General  of  the  Province.  Whether  or  not  the  original 
register-book  for  Bucks  county  is  yet  in  existence,  is  not  known  ; 
but  the  Historical  Society  of  Pennsylvania  has  in  its  possession 
a  certified  copy  of  the  original.  In  1885,  the  whole  record  was 
published  in  the  Poiiisylrania  Magciciiic  of  History  and  Biog- 
raphy, under  the  heading  "A  Partial  List  of  the  Families  who 
Resided  in  Bucks  County,  Pennsylvania,  Prior  to  1687,  with 
the  Date  of  their  Arrival";  see  Vol.  IX.,  pp.  223-234. 

If  there  be  no  confusion  concerning  the  names  of  ships  and 
masters,  William  Bennet  and  his  daughter  Elizabeth  came  from 
England  about  the  same  time  but  in  different  vessels ;  but  it  is 
possiljle  that  the  names  of  ship  and  master  were  incorrectly 
reported  from  memory.  The  ship  "Submission"  had  been  two 
months  and  sixteen  days  in  crossing  the  ocean;  two  months' 
time  was  in  those  days  deemed  a  prosperous  voyage;  and  the 
two  weeks  extra  in  this  case  were  caused  by  unfavorable 
weather,  which  was  the  captain's  excuse  for  landing  his  pas- 
sengers in   :Maryland.     It  may  be  remarked  that  the  age  of 


12  RICHARD  LUNDY  I. 

Richard  Lundy  is  unfortunately  omitted  from  the  Register- 
book,  and  that  Richard  had  not  enrolled  himself  within  the  time- 
limit  set  by  the  statute,  and  hence  had  rendered  himself  techni- 
.cally  liable  to  the  forfeiture  of  five  shillings  for  neglect. 

Elizabeth  (Bennet)  Lundy,  wife  of  Richard  Lundy  L,  was 
buried  on  14  of  6  month,  1687,  less  than  three  years  after  her 
marriage.  A  record  of  births  and  deaths  among  Friends  was 
kept  from  1682  to  1711;  only  one  Lundy  burial  is  entered 
therein,  that  of  Elizabeth  herself;  and  no  Lundy  birth  is 
recorded  prior  to  1692.  The  absence  of  a  record  of  the  birth  of 
any  Lundy  child  would  seem  to  indicate  that  Elizabeth  left  no 
issue ;  but,  on  the  other  hand,  John  Lundy  of  Bucks  county, 
concerning  whom  we  will  speak  fully  a  few  pages  further  on, 
may  have  been  her  son. 

In  1688,  William  Penn  confirmed  to  Richard  Lundy  a  tract 
of  land  containing  one  thousand  acres  situate  in  Buckingham 
township,  Bucks  county,  Pa.  It  was  a  fine  piece  of  property 
fronting  a  mile  on  the  old  York  Road,  well-watered,  embracing 
primeval  forest  and  a  lovely  valley  of  unsurpassed  fertility. 
An  early  survey  of  certain  portions  of  Buckingham  township 
is  still  extant  and  bears  date  1703;  a  map  of  it,  published  by 
Gen.  W.  H.  H.  Davis  in  his  History  of  Bucks  County,  shows  a 
rectangular  block  of  land  inscribed  as  follows : 
"Rich'd  Lundy  1025  A 

Laid  out  for  1000  A" 

Adjoining  tracts  were  owned  by  Edmund  Kinsey  and  Thomas 
Bye  on  the  east,  by  Jno.  Reynolds  on  the  south,  and  by  John 
Smith  on  the  west.  The  middle  point  of  a  straight  north-and- 
south  line  joining  Easton  and  Philadelphia  marks  approxi- 
mately the  position  of  the  Lundy  plantation  in  Bucks  county. 
The  village  of  Buckingham  is  seven  miles  from  the  Delaware 
river,  and  is  about  twenty-five  miles  south  of  Easton  and  the 
same  distance  north  of  Philadelphia. 

When  and  how  was  this  tract  disposed  of?  Only  a  partial 
answer  can  be  given. 

Thomas  Canby  is  said  to  have  bought  a  part  of  a  Lundy  tract 
near  Centreville  in  1693 ;  and  James  Lenox  is  said  to  have  pur- 
chased, some  years  after  this,  4CXD  acres  of  land  from  Richard 
Lundy.  The  Lundy  tract  was  near  the  recently-established 
post-office  named  Holicong,  and  is  now  owned  by  th6  Paxsons, 
Elys  and  others.     Richard  Lundy  owned  land  in  Bristol-bor- 


JANE  LYON,  13 

ough,  Bucks  county,  in  1706;  and  Watson's  map  showing 
owners  of  land  in  1726  places  the  name  of  Richard  Lundy  on  a 
tract  along  the  Delaware  river  near  the  Penn  Manor. 

In  the  fourth  year  after  the  death  of  his  first  wife,  Richard 
Lundy  I.  married  again.  His  second  wife  was  Jane  Lyon,  the 
Quaker  maiden  previously  mentioned  as  having  come  to 
America  with  the  family  of  James  Harrison.  They  were  mar- 
ried at  the  Falls  Monthly  Meeting  in  Bucks  county,  Pa.,  on 
24  of  4  mo.  (June),  1691  ;  and  to  them  there  was  born  in  Bucks 
county  on  20th  day  of  3rd  month,  1692,  a  son  Richard,  desig- 
nated in  this  genealogy  as  Richard  Lundy  H.,  who  married 
Elizabeth  Large,  settled  finally  in  Warren  county,  N.  J.,  and 
there  died  on  28th  of  2nd  month,  1772.  We  now  quote  from 
the  minutes  of  the  Buckingham  Monthly  Meeting  two  sen- 
tences relating  to  the  marriage  of  Richard  Lundy  L  and  Jane 
Lyon.  The  minutes  of  a  Meeting  held  in  Falls  township  on  the 
1st  day  of  the  2nd  month,  1691,  state  that  "Richard  Lundy  and 
Jane  Lyon  proposed  their  intentions  of  taking  each  other  in 
marriage;  it  being  the  first  time,  the  meeting  appoints  John 
Cook  and  Joseph  Kirkbride  to  inquire  concerning  his  clearness 
and  give  an  account  to  the  next  meeting";  and  the  minutes  of 
a  meeting  held  at  the  house  of  Henry  Baker  on  the  6th  day  of 
3rd  month,  1 691,  state  that  "Joseph  Kirkbride  relates  that  he 
hath  made  inquiry  concerning  Richard  Lundy  and  finds  nothing 
but  that  he  may  proceed  with  Jane  Lyon ;  Richard  Lundy  and 
Jane  Lyon  proposed  their  intentions  of  taking  each  other  in 
marriage ;  it  being  the  second  time  and  nothing  appearing  but 
that  both  parties  are  clear,  the  meeting  leaves  them  to  their 
liberty  to  accomplish  the  same." 

We  insert  here  a  literal  copy  of  the  marriage  certificate  of 
Richard  Lundy  L  and  Jane  Lyon  : 

Richard  Lundy  of  ye  County  of  Bucks  &  province  of  Penn- 
silvania,  husbandman,  and  Jane  Lyon  of  ye  Aforesaid  County  & 
province,  spinster,  having  intentions  of  taking  each  other  in 
mariage,  did  publish  their  said  intentions  according  to  law  as 
also  did  declare  them  before  severall  publique  meetings  of  ye 
people  of  god  called  Quakers  whose  proceedings  therein,  after 
deliberat  consideration  and  consent  of  partys  concerned,  were 
Aproved  by  ye  meetings ;  Therefore  these  may  certifie  all  whom 
it  may  concerne  that  on  ye  24th  day  of  ye  flFourth  mo.,  1691, 
they  ye  said  Richard  Lundy  and  Jane  Lyon  Apeared  in  a  pub-

The  certificate  g-iven  above  was  transcribed  by  me  from  an 
old  book  now  in  the  possession  of  the  Middletown  (Hicksite) 
Society  of  Friends,  entitled  "The  Quarterly  Meeting  Record 
for  Marriage  Certificates  in  Bucks  County,  Beginning  in  the 
yeare  1683."  In  looking'  over  the  list  of  witnesses  present  at 
the  wedding,  it  may  be  noted  that  not  one  among  them,  so  far 
as  is  known,  was  of  kin  by  blood  to  either  the  bride  or  the 
groom.  Rebecca  Williams,  formerly  Mrs.  William  Bennet,  was 
the  mother,  and  Ann  and  Sarah  Bennet  were  the  sisters,  of 
Richard's  first  wife. 

Jane  Lyon  was  born  in  England  in  April,  1666;  she  was 
sixteen  years  old  when  she  came  to  America,  and  twenty-five 
years  old  when  she  married  Richard.  The  ship  "Submission" 
which  she  came  in  set  sail  on  5  of  7  month,  1682,  and  arrived 
in  Chespeake  bay,  Maryland,  on  21  of  9  month,  1682. 

A  comparison  of  dates  shows  that  the  ship  "Welcome"  bear- 
ing WilHam  Penn  on  his  first  visit  to  America,  was  crossing  the 
Atlantic  ocean  during  this  very  time.  Some  of  the  passengers 
on  disembarking  from  the  "Submission"  remained  in  the  Chop- 
tank,  Maryland  ;  but  others,  including  those  with  whom  Jane 
had  come,  soon  removed  to  Bucks  county.  Pa. 

So  it  appears  that  Richard  and  Jane,  not  knowing  of  each 
other's  existence,  reached  the  land  of  William  Penn  within  a 
year  of  each  other,  he  by  way  of  Delaware  bay  from  New  Eng- 
land, and  she  by  way  of  Chespeake  bay  from  Old  England. 

"The  Harrison  and  Pemberton  families,"  says  Watson  in  his 
Annals  of  Philadelphia  and  Pennsylvania  in  the  Olden  Time, 
Vol.  L,  page  47,  "came  over  together  among  50  passengers  in 
the  ship"  Submission,"  Capt.  James  Settle,  from  Liverpool. 
The  terms  of  passage  were  £4  5s.  for  all  persons  over  twelve 
years  of  age,  for  all  children  £2  2s.  6d.,  and  for  all  goods,  £30 
per  ton.  Their  contract  was  'to  proceed  to  Delaware  river  or 
elsewhere  in  Pennsylvania  to  the  best  conveniency  of  freighters.' 
It  may  serve  to  know  the  execution  of  such  voyages  to  learn 
that  by  distress  of  weather  they  were  landed  in  the  'Potuxen 
River  in  Maryland'  whence  they  came  to  Philadelphia  and  pro- 
ceded  thence  to  Pennsbury  neighborhood  [Falls  township, 
Bucks  county],  where  they  settled  and  occupied  places  of  dis- 
tinguished trust.  When  James  Harrison  and  his  son-in-law, 
Phineas  Pemberton,  first  entered  Philadelphia  on  horseback, 
from  Choptank  in  Maryland,  the  latter  records  that  at  that  time 


1 6  RICHARD  LUXnV  T. 

(Nov..  1682),  tlicy  oonld  not  procure  entertainment  there  for 
their  horses;  "they  therefore  spancelled  them  [by  leathern 
hopples,  I  presume]  and  turned  them  out  in  the  woods !  They 
soug;-ht  them  next  morning  in  vain,  and  after  two  days'  search 
[think  what  a  wide  range  they  must  have  enjoyed]  they  were 
obliged  to  take  a  boat  to  proceed  up  the  river  to  Bucks  county. 
One  of  those  horses  was  not  found  till  the  succeeding  January !" 

Although  the  records  indicate  that  Richard  Lundy  I.  was  at 
an  early  day  the  owner  of  real  estate  situate  in  the  township  of 
Buckingham,  the  numerous  references  to  Richard,  found  on  the 
minutes  of  the  Falls  Monthly  Meeting  between  1693  and  1701, 
prove  that  he  and  his  wife  resided  during  that  period  in  Falls 
township. 

The  last  occurrence  that  I  observed  of  the  name  of  Richard 
Lundy  I.  on  the  minutes  of  the  Falls  Monthly  Meeting  was  in 
1 70 1.  The  record  for  the  4th  month  of  that  year  says  :  "Agreed 
that  Joseph  Kirkbride  and  Edmund  Lovet  and  Richard  Lundy 
endeavor  to  find  a  spring  near  the  meeting  house  and,  if  they 
find  one,  get  it  opened  and  cleaned"  ;  and  two  months  later,  it  is 
stated  that  "the  friends  who  were  appointed  to  seek  for  a  spring 
do  say  that  they  have  searched,  and  cannot  find  one  above  the 
ground  that  is  convenient  to  the  meeting  house." 

Jane  Lyon  had  come  to  the  New  World  unaccompanied  by 
her  parents,  and  she  was  therefore  entitled,  according  to  the 
homestead  law  of  the  colony,  to  fifty  acres  of  land.  At  last, 
Richard  L  applied  to  the  Board  of  Property  of  the  Province  of 
Pennsylvania  for  the  head-land  of  his  wife,  Jane  Lyon. 

In  the  Pennsylvania  Archives,  second  series,  vol.  xix.,  page 
643,  under  date  of  18  of  i  month,  1717-18,  we  find  that  Richard 
Lundy,  of  the  County  of  Bucks,  had  made  it  appear  by  the  evi- 
dence of  Joseph  Mather  that  Richard's  present  wife  (then  Jane 
Lyon)  came  into  this  province  with  the  families  of  Phineas 
Pemberton  and  James  Harrison,  and  that  Jane  was  entitled  to 
head-land  which  had  never  yet  been  laid  out ;  and  therefore 
Richard  now  desired  it  might  be  granted,  which  was  complied 
with;  and  a  warrant  was  signed,  dated  10,  9ber,  1718. 

Richard  Lundy  L  was  living  in  1734;  on  the  8  day  of  8th 
month  in  that  year,  his  granddaughter,  Mary  Lundy,  was  mar- 
ried to  Robert  Willson  at  Plumstead,  and  among  the  witnesses 
were  Richard  Limdy  (the  bride's  father),  Richard  Lundy  (the 


JANE  LYON.  17 

bride's  brother,  aged  nineteen),  and  Richard  Lundy,  senior  (the 
bride's  grandfather,  who  had  been  in  America  fifty-eight  years). 

"Richard  Lundy,  Senior,"  presented  to  the  Exeter  Monthly 
Meeting  in  Berks  County,  Pa.,  on  24  of  9  month,  1737,  a  cer- 
tificate of  membership  from  the  Buckingham  Monthly  Meeting; 
this  is  probably  Richard  Lundy  L  ;  and  it  is  the  last  time  that 
he  is  mentioned  on  the  minutes.  The  said  certificate  contains 
no  reference  to  his  wife  Jane ;  hence  it  may  be  inferred  that  she 
had  died  previous  to  that  date.  Richard  Lundy  L  probably  died 
at  Maiden  creek,  Berks  county.  Pa.,  about  1738;  his  name  is 
not  found  among  the  witnesses  to  the  marriage  certificate  of  his 
grandson  in  1739. 

Many  years  thereafter,  a  testimonial  concerning  their  son, 
which  was  publicly  approved  by  the  Kingwood  Monthly  Meet- 
ing and  signed  by  order  of  said  Meeting  at  Hardwick  the  13th 
of  8th  month,  1772,  mentions  Richard  and  Jane  Lundy  as  "Pro- 
fessors of  the  Truth  with  us,"  a  statement  which  shows  that 
Richard  and  Jane  continued  to  walk  in  the  plain  and  peaceful 
ways  of  the  Society  of  Friends  and  died  in  that  religious  faith. 

The  life  of  Richard  Lundy,  the  b^ounder,  has  now  been  pre- 
sented as  fully  as  it  is  possible  to  do  from  the  scattered  and 
detached  references  to  him  which  have  been  discovered ;  but 
we  must  return  to  the  question  of  how  many  children  he  had. 
There  was  a  certain  John  Lundy  of  Bucks  county,  Pa.,  and  there 
was  also  a  Margaret  Lundy  of  the  same  place,  possibly  John's 
wife.  Was  this  John  Lundy  a  son  of  Richard  Lundy,  the 
Founder  ?  This  question  cannot  be  answered  conclusively  from 
the  scant  evidence  which  has  thus  far  been  discovered.  I  will 
now  state  all  the  facts  that  are  known  concerning  this  John 
Lundy. 

John  Lundy  and  Margaret  Lundy  were  witnesses  to  the  cer- 
tificate of  Richard  Lundy  and  Elizabeth  Large,  who  were 
married  in  the  township  of  Buckingham  on  3rd  day  of  4th 
month,  1 7 14,  Margret's  name  standing  immediately  below 
John's,  that  being  the  usual  order  of  signature  for  husband  and 
wife;  and  the  names  of  John  and  Margret  appear  in  the  list  just 
after  those  of  the  near  kinsmen  of  the  bride. 

A  petition  was  presented  in  March,  1725,  to  the  Court  of 
Quarter  Sessions  of  Bucks  county.  Pa.,  for  the  erection  of  a  new 
township ;  and  among  those  who  signed  this  petition  were  John 
Lundy  and  Richard  Lundy,  Jr. 


1 8  RICHARD  LUNDY  II. 

The  name  of  John  Liindy  appears  among  the  witnesses  to  the 
marriage  certificate  of  Mar)'  Llmdy  and  Robert  Willson,  which 
is  dated  at  Plumstead,  Bucks  county,  Pa.,  8  of  8  month,  1734; 
and  the  name  of  Margret  Lundy  is  among  the  witnesses  to  the 
marriage  of  Richard  Lundy  III.  and  Ann  Willson  at  Bucking- 
ham, Bucks  county,  Pa.,  on  10  of  8  month,  1739. 

"John  Lundy  and  Richard  Lundy,  Jr.,"  says  Gen.  W.  H.  H. 
Davis  in  his  History  of  Bucks  County,  "were  among  the  origi- 
nal settlers  of  Solebury  Township." 

In  the  library  of  the  Pennsylvania  Historical  Society  at  Phila- 
delphia, there  is  a  manuscript  history  of  the  townships  of  Buck- 
ingham and  Solebury  by  John  Watson ;  and  it  is  stated  therein 
that  a  number  of  Friends  came  from  Long  Island  in  1705  and  in 
the  list  are  given  the  names  of  John  and  Richard  Lundy. 
Without  questioning  the  fact  of  a  Quaker  migration  from  Long 
Island,  we  know  that  Watson's  statement  concerning  Richard 
Lundy  is  erroneous,  and  it  is  possible  that  his  statement  concern- 
ing John  Lundy  is  also  erroneous. 

On  14  day  of  i  month,  175 1,  a  certain  John  Lundy  presented 
to  the  Kingwood  M.  M.  in  Hunterdon  county,  N.  J.,  a  certificate 
of  membership  from  the  Gwynedd  M.  M.  in  Montgomery 
county.  Pa.  Query — Was  John  of  Gwynedd  identical  with  John 
of  Bucks?  Such  are  the  facts.  In  the  absence  of  further  data, 
it  is  natural  to  suppose  that  John  Lundy  was  a  son  of  Richard 
Lundy  I.  by  his  first  wife,  Elizabeth  Bennet.  But  this  is  a  mere 
assumption:  there  is  no  proof.  John's  birth  is  not  found  of 
record ;  but  the  matter  of  registration  might  easily  have  been 
neglected  amid  the  grief  and  changes  attendant  on  Elizabeth's 
death  in  6  month,  1687,  in  the  third  year  after  her  marriage. 

Richard  Lundy  the  Si-xond. 

He  was  the  son  of  Richard  and  Jane  (Lyon)  Lundy,  and 
grandson  of  Sylvester  Lundy  of  Axminister.  He  was  born  in 
Bucks  county.  Pa.,  on  the  20th  day  of  the  3rd  month  (May), 
1692;  and  died  on  the  28  day  of  the  2nd  month  (February), 
1772,  in  the  80th  year  of  his  age.  in  the  township  of  .Allamuchy, 
County  of  Warren,  N.  J.  He  was  buried  in  the  yard  of  the 
Hardwick  Society  of  Friends  on  the  bank  of  the  Pequest  river. 

Richard  Lundy  II.  lived  during  his  childhood  and  youth,  with 
his  parents,  near  the  Friends'  meeting-house  in  Falls  township ; 
his  home  was  not  far  from  the  mansion  of  William  Penn,  so 


ELIZABETH   LARGE.  1 9 

that  this  first  American-born  Lundy,  when  a  lad  of  eight  or  nine 
years,  must  frequently  have  seen  and  sometimes  heard  the  great 
Quaker  statesman ;  for  Penn  lived  at  the  mansion  during  his 
second  visit  to  America  in  1700-01  and  was  a  regular  attend- 
ant at  the  little  meeting-house  for  worship,  and  there,  too, 
sometimes  lifted  up  his  voice  in  prayer  and  exhortation. 

Richard  Lundy  II.  and  Elizabeth  Large,  daughter  of  Joseph 
Large  of  Bucks  county.  Pa.,  were  married  on  3  of  4  month, 
1714. 

Two  extracts  are  given  herewith   from  the  records  of  the 
Falls  Monthly  Meeting,  Bucks  county.  Pa. : 
7th  of  2  mo.,  1 714. 

"Richard  Lundy,  Junior,  and  Elizabeth  Large  proposed  their 
intentions  of  marriage  ;  it  being  the  first  time,  this  meeting  doth 
appoint  Joseph  Fell  and  William  Lacy  to  inquire  into  his  clear- 
ness and  conversation  and  make  report  to  next  meeting." 
5th  of  3  mo.,  1714. 

"Richard  Lundy  and  Elizabeth  Large  proposed  their  inten- 
tions of  marriage  :  it  being  the  second  time,  and  nothing  appear- 
ing to  obstruct  they  are  left  to  their  liberty  to  proceed  according 
to  truth,  therefore  this  meeting  doth  appoint  Thomas  Bye  and 
Joseph  Fell  to  see  it  orderly  accomplished." 

The  Marriage  Certificate  of  Richard  Lundy  IL  and  Elizabeth 
Large  is  given  in  the  Record  of  Marriages  for  Hardwick  and 
Randolph  Monthly  Meeting,  Warren  and  Morris  counties.  New 
Jersey;  it  is  the  first  certificate  that  was  filed  and  copied,  and 
begins  on  page  one  : — 

Whereas  Richard  Lundy,  son  of  Richard  Lundy,  of  the 
Township  of  Buckingham  in  the  County  of  Bucks  and  Province 
of  Pennsylvania,  Batchelor,  and  Elizabeth  Large  (daughter  of 
Joseph  Large  of  the  County  of  Bucks  and  Province  of  Pennsyl- 
vania, aforesaid,  deceased),  Spinster,  haveing  declared  their 
intentions  of  Marriage  with  each  other  Before  several  Monthly 
Meetings  of  the  People  Called  Quakers  in  the  County  of  Bucks 
aforesaid  according  to  the  good  order  used  amongst  them, 
whose  proceedings  therein  after  a  deliberate  Consideration 
thereof,  and  haveing  Consent  of  Parents  &  Relations  Con- 
cerned, Nothing  appearing  to  Obstruct,  were  approved  of  by 
the  said  Meetings  .  .  .  Now  these  are  to  certifie  all  whome  it

Richard  Lundy  Takeing  the  said  Elizabeth  Large  by  the  hand

Here  our  genealogical  tree  divides  into  many  branches ;  but, 
before  considering  that  question,  it  will  be  well  to  string 
together  such  scattered  items  concerning  the  parents  themselves 
as  have  been  culled  from  various  sources. 

Richard  and  Elizabeth  lived  for  twenty-three  years  (1714- 
1737)  in  Bucks  county,  Pa.;  and  then  for  ten  years  (1737- 
1747)  at  Maiden  Creek  in  Berks  county.  Pa.;  and  then  (1747, 
until  their  deaths)  in  the  township  of  AUamuchy,  Warren 
county,  N.  J.  The  dates  of  removal  are  accurately  determined 
from  the  certificate  of  membership  given  to  them  on  each 
occasion  by  the  Friends'  meeting. 

They  dwelt  at  first  in  Buckingham  township,  which  is  in  the 
centre  of  Bucks  county.  Being  at  an  inconvenient  distance 
from  any  meeting-house,  Richard  and  those  Friends  who  had 
settled  near  him  applied  to  the  Falls  Monthly  Meeting  for  per- 
mission to  organize  a  new  Society ;  their  request  was  granted 
on  24  of  9  month,  1720,  and  they  built  the  meeting-house  at 
Buckingham  that  same  year. 

The  first  entry  in  their  book  of  minutes  is  dated  6  of  10 
month,  1720 ;  and  the  first  pages  are  taken  up  almost  exclusively 
by  a  long  account  of  the  efforts  made  by  the  Society  at  its 
monthly  meetings  to  adjust  a  dispute  between  Christopher 
Topham  and  Richard  Lundy  IL  concerning  a  bond  and  a  book- 
debt. 


3i  RICHARD  LUNDY  it. 

Richard  and  his  family  soon  moved  to  Plumstead,  which  was 
seven  miles  to  the  northwest.  This  was  in  1724;  for  in  the 
Buckingham  minutes  of  that  year,  2  of  10  month  Richard 
Lundy,  Junior,  is  alluded  to  as  "now  being  Removed  Ffar  of." 
The  location  of  their  new  home  is  indicated  on  an  old  map  of 
that  vicinity,  drawn  March  11,  1724,  which  places  Richard's 
land  in  the  southwestern  part  of  the  present  township  of  Plum- 
stead.  Among  the  petitioners  to  the  Court  of  Quarter  Sessions 
in  Alarch,  1725,  for  the  erection  of  a  new  township  were  John 
Lundy  and  Richard  Lundy,  Jr. 

Here  Richard  was  again  active  in  organizing  a  new  Society 
of  Friends ;  and  as  a  result  the  Plumstead  Preparative  meeting 
was  established  as  a  branch  of  the  Buckingham  monthly  meet- 
ing. By  this  we  understand  that  the  Friends  living  in  the 
vicinity  of  Plumstead  were  still  enrolled  at  Buckingham  and 
constituted  a  part  of  that  monthly  meeting;  but  that,  in  con 
sideration  of  their  distance  away  they  were  permitted  to  hold 
meetings  for  worship  at  Plumstead  in  private  dwellings  at  first 
until  they  grew  strong  enough  to  build  a  meeting-house.  In 
1730  they  bought  a  lot  and  put  up  a  log  meeting-house;  the 
deed  for  the  land  is  dated  January  the  19th,  and  the  trustees 
named  therein  are  Richard  Lundy  IL,  William  Michener, 
Josiah  Dyer  and  Joseph  Dyer.  At  a  monthly  meeting  held  on 
7th  of  II  month.  1728-9,  Josiah  Dyer  and  Ehester  Browne 
declared  their  intentions  of  marriage ;  and  the  meeting 
appointed  William  Michenor  and  Richard  Lundy  [H.J,  Junior, 
to  make  inquiry  into  the  s'd  Josiah's  clearness,  which  they  did, 
and  in  due  time  reported  "nothing  to  obstruct."  On  4  of  4 
month,  1729,  Richard  Lundy  [IL],  Jr.,  made  a  complaint 
before  the  Falls  Monthly  Meeting  against  a  member  for  detain- 
ing a  just  debt;  and  two  months  later,  Richard  was  left  to  his 
liberty  to  recover  his  money  as  the  law  directs. 

The  statements  copied  below  are  taken  from  the  records  of 
the  Monthly  Meeting : 
5th  of  3  mo.,  1735,  at  Buckingham. 

"Richard   Lundy    [IL],  Junior,   requested   a  certificate   for 
himself,   wife,  and   family  to  Gwynodd   Monthly   Meeting  in 
order  to  join  themselves  thereto." 
6th  of  8  mo.,  1735. 

"This  meeting  appoints  Cephas  Child  to  serve  as  an  Elder  in 
the  place  of  Richard  Lundy,  for  Plumstead  Meeting.     At  this 


ELIZABETH   LARGE.  23 

meeting  those  friends  that  were  appointed  to  inquire  into 
Richard  Lundy's  clearance  report  that  they  hnd  nothing  to 
hinder  his  having  a  certificate ;  they  also  brought  one  according 
to  the  order  of  the  meeting  which  was  read  and  ordered  to  be 
signed  by  the  clerk  in  behalf  of  the  meeting." 
3rd  of  9  mo.,  1735. 

"This  meeting  appoints  Lawrence  Pearson  and  Joseph 
Brown  as  overseers  m  room  of  Richard  Lundy  and  William 
Michenor  for  Plumstead  Meeting." 

Richard  Lundy  IL  and  his  family  seem  to  have  lived  in  Berks 
county  for  ten  years. 

Their  home  is  said  to  have  been  at  Maiden  Creek,  which  is 
about  ten  miles  north  of  the  city  of  Reading  and  about  midway 
between  the  rivers  Delaware  and  Susquehanna.  Maiden  Creek 
is  the  name  of  a  village,  of  a  township  and  of  a  stream  of  water. 

Those  members  of  Friends'  Society  who  lived  at  Maiden 
Creek  were  at  first  under  the  jurisdiction  of  the  Gwynedd 
Monthly  Meeting  in  Montgomery  county.  Pa. ;  but  in  1737  the 
Exeter  Monthly  Meeting  was  established  in  Berks  county,  and 
Friends  living  at  Maiden  Creek  were  assigned  to  the  new 
meeting. 

For  more  than  sixty  years,  1682-1744,  the  Quakers  held  con- 
trol of  the  Pennsylvania  legislative  assembly,  and,  of  course, 
no  military  measures  were  taken  to  protect  the  people  against 
the  Indians.  This  caused  great  dissatisfaction  to  the  non- 
Quaker  element  of  the  population,  who  succeeded  in  electing  a 
majority  of  the  legislature,  and  in  1747  passed  a  law  permitting 
volunteer  military  organizations  to  be  formed.  This  first 
serious  blow  at  Quaker  predominance  marks  the  year  in  which 
the  Lundy  households  removed  to  New  Jersey. 

During  Fifth  month,  1747,  Richard  Lundy  IL  removed  from 
Berks  county,  Pa.,  and  settled  in  the  valley  of  the  Request  river, 
at  the  upper  end  of  the  Great  Meadows,  in  what  is  now  Alla- 
muchy  township,  Warren  county,  N.  J.  In  his  new  home  he 
was  far  away  from  any  organized  Society  of  Friends;  and  so 
his  certificate  of  membership  was  addressed  to  a  Friends' 
Society  in  Hunterdon  county,  N.  J.,  a  meeting  which  has  borne 
during  its  long  history  three  different  official  titles — Bethlehem, 
Kingwood  and  Quakertown. 

On  25  of  4  month,  1747,  he  had  requested  from  the  Exeter 
Monthly  Meeting  a  certificate  for  himself  and  family  to  the 


24  KlCllAUD  LUNDV   11. 

Ucthlchcin  Montlily  Meeting,  N.  J.;  and  the  women's  records 
of  tlic  same  place  and  date  show  that  Ehzabeth  Lundy  had 
apphcd  for  a  certificate  to  Bethlehem  "'jointly  with  her  husband 
and  children";  and  an  entry  on  the  Exeter  minutes  dated  30  of 
5  month,  1747,  states  that  Elizabeth  Lundy  had  removed  with 
her  husband  to  Bethlehem.  Richard  and  Elizabeth  and  their 
minor  children  became  members  of  the  Bethlehem  Meeting  on 
presentation  of  their  certificate  on  8  of  8  month,  1747.  Four 
of  Richard  and  Elizabeth's  children  of  mature  age  had  pre- 
viously settled  at  the  Great  Meadows. 

At  a  Council  of  New  Jersey  held  at  Burlington  28  March, 
1749,  Richard  Lundy  was  nominated  as  a  justice  of  the  peace 
for  the  County  of  Morris,  which  was  assented  to  by  the  Coun- 
cil.—N.  J.  Archives,  Vol.  XVL,  page  91. 

On  8th  of  4  month,  1749,  Richard  Lundy,  Sr.,  was  appointed 
an  Elder  of  the  meeting  at  Great  Meadows  by  the  Kingwood 
Monthly  Meeting,  N.  J..  On  1 1  of  4  month,  1754,  Josiah  Dyer, 
Richard  Lundy,  Senior,  and  Samuel  Schooley  were  appointed 
by  the  Ivingwood  Monthly  Meeting  to  pay  religious  visits  to 
the  families  of  Friends  belonging  to  Hardwick  branch. 

There  is  a  series  of  books,  twelve  in  number,  entitled  Friends' 
Miscellany,  the  eighth  volume  of  which,  page  349,  gives  a  short 
history  of  the  Kingwood  and  Hardwick  Monthly  Meeting, 
wherein  it  is  stated  that  Daniel  Stanton  and  Joshua  Emlen,  two 
traveling  Quaker  preachers,  visited  Friends  in  those  parts  in 
1764,  and  that  they  had  a  large  meeting  at  Kingwood  to  edifi- 
cation and  comfort,  and  that  they  went  "thence  to  Richard 
Lundy 's  at  the  Great  Meadows  and  had  a  meeting  at  his  house, 
where  was  a  number  of  tender  hearted  youth  and  others." 

The  patriarchal  Richard  was  now  nearing  the  close  of  a  long 
and  well-spent  life,  and  his  heart  rejoiced  when  he  saw  the 
goodly  number  and  promising  character  of  his  descendants,  so 
many  of  whom  had  gathered  there  on  this  occasion  for  public 
worship.  In  the  course  of  conversation,  Richard  spoke  to 
Daniel  Stanton  and  said,  "I  have  seventy  children  and  grand- 
children; and  some  of  them  are  valuable  Friends."  Zeal  and 
devotion  to  his  religion  led  Richard  Lundy  IL  to  accept  all 
appointments  to  attend  the  meetings  of  his  Society.  The 
monthly  meetings  were  held  alternately  at  Kingwood  (now 
Quakertown),  and  Hardwick,  the  quarterly  meetings  at  Bur- 
lington, N.  J. ;  and  the  yearly  meetings  at  Philadelphia.    These 


Richard  lundy  ii.  25 

were  no  light  undertakings,  considering  the  distances,  the  con- 
dition of  the  roads,  and  the  modes  of  traveling  in  use  at  that 
time. 

"Kingwood  Monthly  Meeting's  Testimony  concerning  our 
ancient  Friend  and  Elder  Richard  Lundy : 

"He  was  son  of  Richard  and  Jane  Lundy  of  Bucks  Co.,  Pa., 
Professors  of  the  truth  with  us,  born  the  20th  of  the  3rd  mo., 
1692.  He  was  a  man  much  esteemed  amongst  Friends  and 
others,  being  of  a  meek  and  quiet  spirit,  exemplary  in  life  and 
conversation  and  a  pattern  of  plainness  and  simplicity,  diligent 
in  attending  meetings  for  worship  and  discipline,  duly  observ- 
ing the  hour  appointed,  and  in  contribution  for  the  service 
thereof  gave  freely  according  to  his  ability.  He  often  gave  up 
to  attend  monthly,  quarterly  and  yearly  meetings  with  great 
willingness  even  in  his  declining  years  until  the  indisposition 
of  his  wife  rendered  that  service  impracticable.  He  was  an 
atTectionate  husband,  a  tender  father  and  a  kind  friend,  punc- 
tual and  just  in  his  dealings  among  men,  evidencing  to  the 
world  that  he  was  concerned  to  do  to  others  as  he  would  have 
them  do  to  him.  His  house  was  freely  opened  for  those  who 
travelled  in  the  work  of  the  ministry  whose  company  he  greatly 
valued,  and  often  cheerfully  travelled  with  such  as  a  guide  to 
other  meetings. 

He  lived  in  the  fear  of  the  Lord  and  was  much  concerned 
that  love  and  unity  might  be  maintained  among  Friends,  and 
deeply  afifected  when  anything  of  a  contrary  nature  arose  to 
obstruct  it.  In  his  last  illness,  which  was  but  short,  he  entirely 
refused  the  help  of  any  physician,  signifying  his  resignation  to 
the  Divine  will,  whether  in  life  or  death,  and  continued  in  a 
patient  frame  of  mind  when  sensible,  till  his  departure,  which 
was  on  the  28th  of  the  2nd  mo.,  1772,  aged  near  eighty  years; 
and  though  our  loss  is  great,  we  are  comforted  in  the  hope  that 
he  is  gone  to  inherit  the  crown  immortal  which  is  laid  up  for  all 
those  who  love  and  fear  the  Lord. 

He  was  decently  buried  in  Friends'  burying  ground  at  Hard- 
wick  the  29th  of  the  same,  attended  by  a  large  number  of 
Friends  and  others. 

Signed  by  order  of  said  meeting  at  Hardwick  the  13th  day 
of  the  8th  mo.,  1772.     By 

Jacob  Smith,  Clerk."

Chas.  Pettit,  Reg. 

In  the  preceding  pages,  I  have  arranged  in  chronological 
order  and  presented  to  the  reader  many  passages  gathered  from 
Friends'  records  and  from  other  trustworthy  sources,  relating 
to  Richard  Lundy  L  and  Richard  Lundy  H.  Especially  to  be 
prized  are  those  extracts  which  bear  witness  to  moral  worth 
and  reUgious  character ;  but  even  those  which  may  seem  at  first 
to  be  unimportant  serve  at  least  one  purpose  exceedingly  well — 
they  enable  us  to  locate  our  Lundy  forefathers  during  their  first 
century  in  America  with  a  definiteness  and  exactness  in  regard 
to  time  and  place  that  is  very  satisfactory.     Anecdotes  might 


28  RICHARD  LUNDY  II. 

impart  interest  to  the  narrative;  but  names  and  places  and 
dates  are  the  things  that  produce  conviction  and  prove  that  the 
introductory  sketches  of  the  Lundy  family  have  been  deter- 
mined with  historical  certainty. 

The  Children  and  Grandciiilduen  of 
Richard  Lundy  II.  and  Eljzabeth  Large. 

There  were  five  sons  and  four  daughters.  All  were  born  in 
Bucks  county,  Pennsylvania,  between  the  years  171 5  and  1732. 
All  had  birthright  membership  in  the  Religious  Society  of 
Friends ;  all  finished  their  course  and  kept  the  faith.  They  all 
married;  and,  with  the  possible  exception  of  Margaret  the 
youngest  child,  all  left  ofifspring  and  have  numerous  descend- 
ants living  at  the  present  time.  They  all  settled  in  Warren 
county,  New  Jersey,  between  the  years  1745  and  1748;  this  was 
before  the  French  and  Indian  War,  and  Warren  county  was  a 
part  of  Sussex.  All  continued  to  dwell  there  in  the  vicinity  of 
Johnsonburg  and  Allamuchy,  and  all  died  there,  except  Martha 
(Lundy)  Schooley,  who,  in  1759,  removed  to  Newton  only  ten 
miles  away..  Richard  III.  died  in  1756  at  41  years  of  age, 
Joseph  in  1759  at  40  years,  Margaret  in  1766  at  34,  Thomas  in 
1773  or  thereafter  at  48  or  more,  Jacob  in  1800  at  79,  Samuel 
in  1801  at  74,  Martha  in  1803  at  80,  Mary  in  1807  at  91,  and 
Elizabeth  in  1811  at  81.  Their  average  age  was  sixty-two 
years. 

How  many  grandchildren  were  there? 

A  full  and  correct  list  of  the  names  of  all  children  born  to 
each  family  has  been  obtained,  except  in  the  case  of  Joseph  and 
of  Margaret.  Richard  III.  had  eleven  children,  Mary  eight, 
Jacob  ten,  Martha  five,  Thomas  six,  Samuel  twelve,  and  Eliza- 
beth twelve,  making  a  total  of  sixty-four  grandchildren  in  these 
seven  households.  It  is  known  with  certainty  that  Joseph  had 
at  least  one  child,  giving  a  total  of  sixty-five  known  grand- 
children. 

I.  Richard  Lundy  III.  was  born  23  of  4th  month,  1715 ;  his 
death  date  is  given  at  the  bottom  of  the  first  page  of  the  Hard- 
wick  Record  of  Births  in  these  words:  "The  above-named 
Richard  Lundy  Departed  this  Life  the  7th  of  the  nth  Month, 
1757,  and  was  Decently  Buryed  in  Friends  burying  ground  at 
Hardwick." 

He  married  Ann  Willson  at  xMaiden  Creek,  Pa.,  in  1739,  and 


ELIZABETH   LARGE.  29 

settled  near  Allamuchy,  Warren  county,  N.  J.,  in  1746.  Ten  of 
his  eleven  children  ^rew  to  maturity ;  namely,  Samuel,  William, 
Amos,  Sarah  (Kester),  Richard  IV.,  Ann  (Webster), 
Ebenezer,  John,  Eliezer,  and  Azariah.  Samuel  and  William 
removed  to  Canada ;  Samuel  locating  near  Newmarket  and 
William  at  Lundy's  Lane ;  Ebenezer  and  Eliezer  settled  in 
Bucks  county.  Pa. ;  and  Amos,  Sarah,  Richard  IV.,  John,  and 
the  family  of  Azariah  emigrated  to  Virginia. 

The  names  of  all  the  descendants  of  Richard  III.,  so  far  as 
it  has  been  possible  to  trace  and  identify  the  same,  have  been 
classified  in  the  accompanying  genealogy  under  Group  One. 

II.  Mary  Lundy  was  born  6  of  11  month,  1716.  The  first 
entry  in  the  list  of  Burials  kept  by  the  Hardwick  Society  of 
Friends  states  that  "Mary  Willson,  widow  of  Robert  Willson, 
deceased,  and  lately  residing  in  the  Township  of  Independence, 
County  of  Sussex,  N.  J.,  died  3  month  4  day,  1807,  at  the  agt 
of  ninety  years,  and  was  buried  at  Hardwick  Meeting-house." 
Mary  was  an  Elder  in  the  Religious  Society  of  Friends.  She 
married  Robert  Willson  at  Buckingham,  Pa.,  in  1734.  They 
removed  to  Maiden  Creek,  Pa.,  in  1737,  and  thence  to  the  great 
Meadows  in  Warren  county,  N.  J.,  in  1747.  Their  homestead 
is  still  in  the  Willson  name  (1901).  They  had  eight  children, 
five  of  whom  attained  maturity  and  married  ;  namely,  Ebenezer, 
Jonathan,  Mary  (Willets),  Moses,  and  Martha  (Widdifield). 
Their  descendants  are  enumerated  under  Group  Two. 

III.  Joseph  Lundy  was  born  24  of  4  month,  1719.  There 
is  reason  to  believe  that  he  died  in  1759.  He  married  Susanna 
Hutton  at  Maiden  Creek,  Berks  county,  Pa.,  in  1743,  and 
removed  to  Warren  county,  N.  J.,  in  1745.  Joseph  and  Susanna 
certainly  had  a  son  Enos  of  Newmarket,  Ontario,  Canada,  and 
probably  other  children  among  whom  may  have  been  William 
of  Newton.  N.  J.,  and  Sarah  (Carpenter)  of  Pennsylvania.  In 
1758  a  Joseph  Lundy  married  Sarah  Willson.  It  is  possible 
that  among  Joseph's  children  were  also  Nancy  Lundy,  Cather- 
ine Lundy,  and  Hannah  Lundy,  who  married  Samuel  Shotwell 
of  Sussex  county,  N.  J.  For  further  information,  see  Group 
Three. 

IV.  Jacob  Lundy  was  born  15  of  6  month.  1721.  An  old 
entry  made  on  the  inside  of  the  first  cover-leaf  of  the  Hardwick 
Record  of  Births,  opposite  the  entry  of  his  birth  date,  states 
that  "Jacob  Lundy  departed  this  Life  the  17th  day  of  the  ist

Month,  1800,  and  was  Decently  buryed  in  Friends  Burying 
ground  at  Hardwick  the  i8th  of  the  same."  He  removed  from 
Maiden  Creek,  Pa.,  to  Warren  county.  X.  J.,  in  1745.  He 
married  Mary  Willson  in  1748.  Four  of  tlicir  ten  children  are 
known  to  have  married  and  left  descendants ;  namely,  Jacob  H., 
Mary  (Schmuck).  Jonathan,  and  Deborah  (Dennis);  consult 
Group  Four. 

V.  Martha  Lundy  was  born  i  of  6  month.  1723.  An  entry 
in  an  old  Bible  now  in  the  possession  of  Mr.  Benjamin  D. 
Schooley  of  Newton,  N.  J.,  states  that  "Martha  Schooley,  wife 
of  Benjamin  Schooley,  was  taken  sick  on  the  15th  day  of  the 
seventh  month  eighteen  hundred  and  three,  and  died  on  the 
eleventh  day  of  the  ninth  month  following.  Age  eighty  years 
and  about  one  month."  Entry  number  17  in  the  Hardwick 
Record  of  Burials  says  that  "Martha  Schooley,  daughter  of 
Richard  Lundy,  and  a  late  resident  of  Sussex  county,  N.  J.,  died 
9th  Month,  the  eleventh,  1803,  and  was  buried  at  Newton." 
Martha  married  Benjamin  Schooley  in  1755  and  settled  at  New- 
ton, Sussex  county.  N.  J.,  about  1760.  Four  of  their  five 
children  married;  namely,  Elizabeth  (White),  Ann  (Dennis), 
Joseph,  and  Martha  (Phillips).  Their  descendants  so  far  as 
known  are  given  in  Group  Five. 

\l.  Thomas  Lundy  Avas  born  14  of  6  month,  1725.  The 
date  of  his  death  has  not  been  ascertained ;  he  was  living  in 
1772.  In  1745  he  removed  from  Maiden  Creek,  Pa.,  to  Warren 
countv.  N.  J.,  and  in  1750  married  Joanna  Doan.  They  had 
six  children,  who  married  and  left  descendants;  namely, 
Susanna  (  Parker ) ,  Reuben  of  Columbia  county,  Pa.,  Ephraim 
of  Lycoming  county.  Pa..  Thomas  H.  of  North  Carolina. 
Joseph  of  Sussex  county  and  of  Rancocas,  Burlington  county, 
N.  J.,  and  Elizabeth  (  Bunting)  of  Warren  coimty,  N.  J.  The 
descendants  of  Thomas  and  Joanna  are  named  under  Group 
Six. 

\'II.  Samuel  Lundy  was  born  13  of  12  month.  1727.  Entry 
No.  19  in  the  Hardwick  Record  of  Burials  states  that  "Samuel 
Lundy.  son  of  Richard  Lundy,  and  lately  a  resident  of  Sussex 
county.  N.  J.,  died  on  the  14th  day  of  2nd  Month.  1801.  at  the 
age  of  seventy-four  years,  and  was  buried  at  Hardwick."  He 
came  to  Warren  county,  N.  J.,  with  his  parents  in  1747.  Samuel 
was  a  Judge  of  the  Sussex  County  Court.  He  married  ( i )  Ann 
Schooley  in   1751,  and   (2)   Sarah  Willets  in   1765.     He  had

twelve  children,  three  by  his  first  wife  and  nine  by  his  second; 
namely,  Isaac,  Daniel,  George  of  Johnsonburg,  N.  J. ;  Ann 
(Patterson)  ;  Levi  of  Wyandotte  county,  Ohio;  Edith  (Laing)  ; 
Samuel  II.  of  Waterloo,  Seneca  county,  N.  Y. ;  Achsah 
(Laing);  Jesse  of  Welland  county,  Ontario,  Canada;  Sarah 
(Lundy)  of  Allamuchy,  N.  J. ;  and  Amy  (Adams)  ;  and  Tamer, 
who  died  in  infancy.  The  various  lines  of  descent  from  Judge 
Samuel  Lundy  are  recorded  in  Group  Seven. 

\TII.  Elizabeth  Lundy  was  born  lo  of  3  month,  L730. 
Entry  No.  8  in  the  Hardwick  Record  of  Burials  states  that 
"Elizabeth  Willson  widow  of  Gabriel  Willson,  and  lately  a  resi- 
dent of  Sussex  County.  N.  J.,  died  25th  of  5th  Month,  181 1,  at 
the  age  of  eighty-one  years,  and  was  buried  at  Hardwick." 
Ehzabeth  married  Gabriel  Willson  I.  in  1748;  they  settled  on 
the  great  meadows  near  Allamuchy,  Warren  county,  N.  J.,  and 
had  twelve  children,  eight  of  whom  grew  to  maturity  and 
married;  namely,  Charity  (Willets)  of  North  Carolina,  Eliza- 
beth (Schooley)  of  North  Carolina,  Robert  of  Kentucky,  Daniel 
of  Welland  county.  Ontario,  Canada,  Gabriel  II. ;  Ann  (Vliet)  ; 
Jesse  of  Welland  county,  Ontario,  Canada;  and  Jeremiah  of 
Indiana.  Elizabeth  (Lundy)  Willson's  descendants  constitute 
Group  Eight. 

IX.  Margaret  Lundy  was  born  14  of  12  month,  1732,  "and 
Departed  this  Life  the  —  day  of  the  4th  month,  1776,  and  was 
Decently  buryed  in  Friends  Burying  ground  at  Hardwick" ;  the 
words  in  quotation  marks  are  from  the  first  page  of  the  Hard- 
wick Record  of  Births.  She  married  John  Willson,  who  was 
born  13  of  12  month,  1723,  and  who  had  removed  from  Maiden 
Creek,  Pa.,  to  New  Jersey  in  1745.  Their  marriage  is  recorded 
in  the  Kingwood  minutes  under  date  of  nth  day  of  8th  month. 
1750.  No  record  of  any  children  has  been  found.  I  copied  the 
following  from  IVills,  Liber.  14,  page  409,  in  the  office  of  the 
Secretary  of  State  at  Trenton,  N.  J. : 

"Samuel  Lundy's  Account." 

"Be  it  remembered  that  the  account  of  Samuel  Lundy,  execu- 
tor of  John  Willson,  deceased,  was  settled  and  approved  of 
before  Robert  Burchan,  surrogate,  and  a  quietus  issued  under 
the  prerogative  seal  by  which  it  appears  there  is  remaining  in 
his  hands  a  balance  of  two  hundred  twenty-six  pounds,  four- 
teen, and  seven  pence.  Dated  the  27  of  November,  1771. 
Chas.  Pettit,  Reg." 


32  RICHARD  r.UNDY   IT. 

It  may  be  remarked  that  four  of  the  cliildren  of  Richard  and 
Elizabeth  ( Large )  Lundy  married  four  of  the  children  of 
Samuel  and  Esther  (Overton)  Willson  ;  to  wit,  Richard  Lundy 
in.  married  Ann  Willson,  Mary  Lundy  married  Rol)ert  Will- 
son,  Elizabeth  Lundy  married  Gabriel  Willson,  and  Margaret 
Lundy  married  John  Willson ;  and  it  may  be  observed  further 
that  a  sister  and  brother  of  this  same  Lundy  household  married 
a  brother  and  sister  of  the  Schooley  family ;  to  wit,  Martha 
Lundy  married  Benjamin  Schooley  and  Samuel  Lundy  married 
Ann  Schooley.  children  of  Samuel  and  Avis  (Holloway) 
Schooley. 

King  Philip's  War  marks  the  coming  of  the  Lundy's ;  the 
Revolutionary  War  marks  the  dispersal  of  the  Lundy's.  For 
one  century  the  Lundy  kith  and  kin  clung  together.  During 
the  last  quarter  of  that  century.  1746- 1776.  they  all  resided  in 
New  Jersey,  in  the  valley  of  the  Request  river,  within  a  radius 
of  a  few  miles  of  the  Friends'  Meeting-house ;  they  knew  each 
other  personally,  and  every  father  and  mother  of  them  could 
have  told  the  exact  relationship  existing  between  all  the  house- 
holds. But  since  that  time,  it  has  been  "scatter,  scatter,  scatter." 
From  Warren  county,  their  last  united  home,  they  have  gone 
north  and  south  and  west.  Yet  notwithstanding  these  con- 
tinual losses  by  removal,  the  Lundy  name  has  never  ceased  to 
be  a  familiar  one  in  the  old  Quaker  settlement  on  the  Request. 

In  reading  the  documents  of  colonial  times,  it  is  important  to 
bear  in  mind  the  changes  that  have  been  made  in  the  boundaries 
of  political  divisions  by  the  formation  of  new  counties  and 
townships.  Hunterdon  county  was  erected  in  1713.  and  origi- 
nally included  Sussex  and  Warren  ;  Morris  was  erected  in  1738- 
9,  and  included  Sussex  and  Warren ;  Sussex  was  organized  in 
1753,  and  included  Warren,  which  was  not  separated  from 
Sussex  until  1824.  The  old  township  of  Hard  wick  was  erected 
by  royal  patent  about  171 3.  Portion  after  portion  has  been  cut 
ofif  until  the  present  township  of  Hardwick  is  only  a  remote 
corner  of  the  wide  area  originally  included  under  that  ancient 
name.  Independence  was  organized  in  1782;  and  from  Inde- 
pendence the  borough  of  Hackettstown  was  cut  oiT  in  1853  and 
AUamuchy  in  1873.  Three  other  townships  have  been  taken 
from  Hardwick ;  namely.  Green  and  Stillwater  in  1824,  and 
Frelinghuysen  in  1848.  Hardwick  Patent  has  been  the  mother 
of  townships.

The  Peouest  Valley. 

There  is  in  the  eastern  part  of  North  America  a  long,  con- 
tinuous, trough-Hke  depression  called  the  Great  Appalachian 
Valley,  beginning  at  Quebec  in  Canada  and  extending  south- 
ward to  the  State  of  Alabama.  It  is  one  and  the  same  valley 
throughout,  although  known  in  different  sections  of  the 
country  by  various  local  names ;  thus  in  Canada  it  is  called  the 
valley  of  the  Sorel  River,  in  \'ermont  the  valley  of  Lake  Cham- 
plain,  in  New  York  the  valley  of  the  Hudson  River  (as  far 
south  as  Newbergh),  in  Pennsylvania  the  Cumberland  Valley, 
in  Virginia  the  Shenandoah  valley,  and  further  southward  the 
valley  of  the  East  Tennessee  River.  That  part  of  this  great 
depression  which  crosses  New  Jersey  is  forty  miles  long  and 
twelve  miles  wide,  and  is  called  the  Kittatinny  Valley.  It  is 
bounded  on  the  northwest  by  the  Kittatinny  Mountain,  which 
extends  from  New  York  State  to  the  Delaware  Water  Gap  and 
rises  from  1,500  to  1,800  feet  above  the  level  of  the  sea;  and  on 
the  southeast  by  the  AUamuchy  Mountain,  which  rises  to  the 
height  of  1 ,250  feet.  The  basin  lying  between  these  two  parallel 
ranges  is  600  feet  below  their  crests ;  but  it  does  not  answer  at 
all  to  the  conventional  idea  of  a  river  valley,  for  the  surface  is 
broken  by  numerous  outcrops  of  limestone  forming  knolls  from 
40  to  80  feet  high,  which  impart  to  it  a  rough,  mountainous 
aspect. 

The  western  end  of  the  Kittatinny  valley  is  drained  into  the 
Delaware  river  by  two  parallel  streams — the  Paulins  Kill,  36 
miles  long,  flowing  from  Augusta  to  Columbia,  and  having  a 
drainage  area  of  177  square  miles;  and  the  Pequest  river,  32 
miles  long,  flowing  from  Pinkneyville  to  Belvidere  and  having 
an  area  of  158  square  miles.  Each  stream  has  its  own  railroad 
line ;  the  New  York,  Susquehanna  and  Western  runs  along  the 
Kill ;  the  Lehigh  and  Hudson  runs  along  the  Pequest.  These 
two  subvalleys  are  separated  by  a  long  rolling  slate  plateau,  300 
feet  high,  running  lengthwise  through  the  middle  of  the  valley 
and  fitly  named  from  its  structure  the  Ridge.  The  views  from 
the  Ridge  are  magnificent ;  in  one  direction  you  look  across  the 
valley  of  the  Pequest  and  .see  the  AUamuchy  Mountain ;  in  the 
opposite  direction,  you  look  across  the  valley  of  the  Paulins 
Kill  and  see  the  Kittatinny  Mountain  with  its  level  crest 
notched  by  that  wonderful  work  of  nature,  the  Delaware  Water 
Gap. 


THE  PEQUEST  VALLEY.  35 

I  have  mentioned  the  rugged  character  of  the  Kittatinny 
valley ;  there  is,  however,  one  large  level  tract  along  the 
Pequest  where  the  Jenny  Jump,  an  isolated  mass  of  Archaean 
rock  1,140  feet  high,  encroaches  on  the  valley  and  makes  it 
narrow,  and  right  here  across  the  narrow  part  lies  a  heavy  dam 
of  drift,  a  stiff  clay  intermixed  with  bowlders,  dumped  there,  if 
we  can  credit  the  fairy  tales  of  science,  as  a  moraine  by  retreat- 
ing glaciers  during  the  Age  of  Ice.  This  obstacle  caused  the 
river  to  backwater,  forming  a  shallow  lake  four  miles  long  and 
two  miles  wide,  which,  in  the  course  of  geological  time,  was 
filled  with  sediment  and  other  washed-in  material.  This  is  the 
Great  Meadows,  called  so  in  colonial  days,  but  now  more  dis- 
tinctively named  the  Pequest  Meadows.  It  is  really  a  low 
swamp  of  peat-bogs  and  timber,  too  wet  for  cultivation  and 
subject  to  overflow  by  freshets,  the  sluggish  stream  not  being 
able  to  carry  off  the  water  poured  into  it  so  rapidly  at  times 
from  the  neighboring  hillsides.  But  the  land  at  the  upper  end 
of  the  swamp,  being  somewhat  more  elevated,  makes  choice 
farms  with  upland  for  grain  and  excellent  meadows  for  hay 
and  pasture.  A  straight  line  joining  Johnsonburg  and  Alla- 
muchy  marks  the  upper  edge  of  the  Pequest  Meadows,  and 
there  along  the  river  is  where  the  Quakers  made  their  settle- 
ment and  built  their  meeting-house. 

By  the  courtesy  of  the  State  Geologist  of  New  Jersey,  I  am 
able  to  insert  in  this  book  a  picture  of  the  Pequest  valley.  The 
entire  Quaker  settlement  is  shown,  but  it  does  not  take  up  the 
whole  picture ;  the  settlement  occupies  one-third  of  the  picture, 
the  part  to  the  right.  The  right  edge  of  the  picture  is  a  line 
passing  near  Johnsonburg  and  the  Southtown  school-house ; 
the  left  edge  includes  Marshall  Hibler's  dwelling  house,  which 
is  plainly  visible,  and  extends  some  distance  above  the  village 
of  Andover. 

Start  from  Johnsonburg  and  climb  the  long  high  hill  till  you 
reach  the  ridge  road  on  the  county  line  separating  Sussex  and 
Warren.  Cross  the  green  so  that  the  Yellow  Frame  Church 
does  not  obstruct  the  view  and  gaze  to  the  southeast.  You  are 
looking  over  a  valley  400  feet  deep  and  6  miles  wide.  The 
horizon  is  bounded  by  a  waving  line  formed  by  the  rounded 
crests  of  the  Allamuchy  Mountain ;  you  will  notice  that  the 
snow-covered  fields  indicating  cultivation  spread  over  the 
flanks  of  the  mountain  and  in  some  places  creep  far  up  toward 


36  THE  PEQUEST  VALLEY. 

the  summit.  A  road  branching  ofif  at  the  church  turns  down 
the  hill  and  passes  a  large  oak-tree,  the  tips  of  the  branches  of 
which  reach  above  the  sky-line. 

Observe  the  row  of  nine  apple-trees,  beyond  the  fence,  in 
the  next  field ;  over  them  see  two  fields  partly  mowed.  The 
snow  has  settled  down  into  the  standing  stubble  which  causes 
the  unmowed  portion  to  appear  dark  in  strong  contrast  with  its 
belt  of  pure  white.  The  public  road  already  mentioned,  which 
re-appears  and  separates  those  two  partly-mown  fields,  leads 
over  the  hill  to  Greensville,  a  village  two  and  a  half  miles  from 
the  Yellow  Frame,  and  a  half  mile  beyond  the  crest  of  the  hill. 
Near  the  village,  Benjamin  Lundy,  the  philanthropist,  was  born 
and  bred.  The  farm  buildings  on  the  old  estate  of  Job  J.  Shaw, 
now  William  Vough's,  are  plainly  visible  in  the  field  to  the 
right ;  and  the  minute  lines  on  the  further  edge  of  the  same 
field  indicate  a  peach  orchard.  Along  the  mountain  and  above 
the  partly-mown  field  to  the  left  of  the  Greenville  road,  and 
marked  in  the  picture  by  a  dark  patch  a  half  inch  long,  may  be 
seen  the  farm  now  owned  and  occupied  by  Henry  Nelson  and 
Rhoda  (Decker)  Lundy.  This  tract  of  timber  which  shows 
heavy  and  dark  in  the  right  of  the  picture  and  comparatively 
near  the  Yellow  Frame  is  the  Big  Wood  that  extends  from 
Johnsonburg  to  Dark  Moon.  The  Tranquility  Church  is 
exactly  in  the  middle  of  the  picture  from  right  to  left;  the 
gleam  of  the  spire,  which  is  easily  seen  by  the  eye  from  this 
hill,  has  left  its  impress  on  only  a  few  of  the  pictures.  The 
course  of  the  Pequest  river  is  clearly  indicated  by  a  narrow 
dark  line  nearly  continuous  extending  from  left  to  right  across 
the  entire  picture,  the  dark  line  being  caused  by  the  trees  and 
bushes  along  the  banks  of  the  stream.  The  little  village  of 
Allamuchy  nestles  at  the  foot  of  the  distant  mountain.  It  is 
six  miles  from  where  we  are  standing,  and  its  position  is  shown 
on  the  plate  by  a  dark  patch  one  and  a  quarter  inches  from  the 
top  of  the  picture  and  three  and  three-eighths  inches  from  the 
right  edge.  The  tall  cedar-trees  that  fringe  the  road  that  leads 
from  Allamuchy  upward  and  to  the  right  across  the  mountain 
to  Hackettstown  are  plainly  indicated  by  a  dark  streak.  The 
meeting-house  of  the  Hardwick  Society  of  Friends  cannot  be 
seen,  but  it  stands  close  to  the  Pequest  river  and  almost  exactly 
in  line  between  the  Yellow  Frame  Church  and  Allamuchy. 
The  level  character  of  the  land  in  the  Quaker  settlement  pre-

sents  no  salient  featnres  for  description.  There  is  one  thing 
more  I  wish  to  point  out,  and  tliat  is  the  sky-field.  It  looks 
like  a  piece  of  the  sky,  for  it  shows  white  and  rests  so  high  on 
the  very  top  of  the  mountain.  It  is  to  the  right  of  the  oak 
limb,  and  one-fourth  inch  from  the  right-hand  edge  of  the 
picture.  That  is  not  a  patch  of  sky  notching  down  into  the 
mountain ;  it  is  a  distinctive  and  ever-present  feature  of  the 
landscape  as  viewed  from  the  valley ;  it  faces  the  dwelling  of 
Judge  Samuel  Lundy  and  of  George  and  Esther  Lundy.  Many 
a  Willson  and  many  a  Lundy  would  recognize  that  high  field 
as  the  land-mark  of  their  childhood  home,  seen  hundreds  of 
times,  clothed  in  green  during  spring-time  and  summer,  but  in 
winter  snow-clad.  And  there  it  lies  in  the  picture  sparkling 
on  the  distant  mountain  top  as  natural  as  life. 

The  Hardwick  Society  of  Friends. 

Public  meetings  for  the  worship  of  God  were  held  at  the 
Great  Meadows  in  Warren  county,  N.  J.,  as  early  as  July,  1745. 
These  meetings  were  held  at  private  houses.  The  members  of 
Friends'  Society  who  dwelt  at  the  Meadows  had  on  13th  of  3 
month,  1745,  made  a  request  to  the  Kingwood  Monthly  Meet- 
ing for  permission  to  hold  such  meetings  every  first  day  of  each 
week;  and  their  request  was  granted  on  the  eighth  of  fifth 
month  (July),  and  Samuel  Willson,  Junior,  was  appointed  by 
the  Kingwood  Meeting  to  serve  as  an  overseer  at  the  Hard- 
wick particular  Meeting.  Liberty  to  hold  a  meeting  for  wor- 
ship on  the  Fourth  day  of  every  week  was  obtained  on  i6th  of 
9th  month,  1747.  A  public  Meeting-house  was  needed,  and 
steps  were  taken  for  the  erection  of  one,  but  Friends  became 
divided  on  the  question  as  to  where  it  should  be  located.  This 
led  to  an  appeal  to  the  Kingwood  meeting,  which  appointed  a 
committee  consisting  of  Jeremiah  Williams,  Joseph  King,  Sr., 
Joseph  Webster,  Joseph  King,  Jr.,  and  William  King  to  assist 
Friends  at  the  Meadows  in  fixing  upon  a  place  for  a  building; 
to  which  committee  there  were  afterward  added  John  Emley, 
Peter  Schmuck,  Jacob  Simcock,  and  Wihiam  Emley.  This 
committee  made  a  report  to  the  Kingwood  Meeting  on  12  of 
2nd  month,  1750,  and  gave  it  as  their  opinion  and  judgment 
that  the  Meeting-house  should  be  built  at  the  same  place  where 
the  graveyard  had  been  made  there.    Those  Friends  who  were

dissatisfied  with  this  decision  carried  the  case  by  appeal  to  the 
Quarterly  Meeting,  but  without  result;  for  on  17th  of  7th 
month,  1750,  it  was  reported  to  Kingwood  by  an  extract  from 
the  minutes  of  the  Quarterly  Meeting  that  the  judgment  of  the 
committee  had  been  confirmed.  It  would  seem  that  a  log  meet- 
ing-house was  soon  erected ;  and  there  can  be  little  doubt  that 
it  was  located  near  Friends"  graveyard  in  AUamuchy  township. 
A  deed  for  land  was  given  in  1752  by  Richard  Penn  ""for  a 
Friends'  meeting-house  forever."  This  Richard  was  a  grand- 
son of  William  Penn.  It  is  of  record  in  the  office  of  the  West 
Jersey  Proprietors  at  Burlington  that  on  March  10,  1714-15.  a 
land-warrant  was  issued  to  William  Penn  for  Lot  ye  50th,  that 
said  lot  was  laid  out  by  John  Reading,  an  authorized  surveyor, 
and  that  the  legal  transfer  of  the  land  from  the  Proprietors  to 
William  Penn  was  completed  by  the  return  of  the  warrant  and 
survey  to  the  office  on  May  27,  1715.  The  said  lot  is  described 
as  lying  "on  both  sides  of  the  Paquaessing  river  upon  an  Indian 
patli  which  leads  from  AUamuchakohin  to  Pahukqualong," 
which,  when  modernized,  becomes  "'on  both  sides  of  the 
I'equest  river  upon  an  Indian  path  which  leads  from  AUamuchy 
to  Pahaquarry."  The  public  road  from  AUamuchy  to  Johnson- 
burg  follows  the  ancient  Indian  path  mentioned  in  William 
i'enn's  land-warrant ;  and  this  was  only  a  short  section  in  the 
great  trail,  or  Indian  path,  along  which  the  Mincy  Indians 
traveled  to  and  fro  in  their  annual  excursions  to  Long  Branch 
on  the  New  Jersey  coast,  which,  even  before  the  coming  of  the 
white  man,  was  a  popular  summer  resort.  The  trail  crossed  the 
Kittatinny  mountain  at  Wind  Gap,  passed  through  Marksboro, 
Johnsonburg,  AUamuchy,  and  Hackettstown,  and  continued 
due  southeast  to  the  ocean,  the  whole  distance  from  the  Dela- 
ware to  the  sea,  being  seventy-five  miles  as  the  bird  flies.  The 
Quaker  meeting-house  and  burying-ground  are  at  the  exact 
spot  where  the  Indian  trail  crossed  the  Pequest  river. 

The  privilege  of  holding  a  Preparative  Meeting  at  Hard- 
wick  was  granted  on  13  of  5  month,  1756,  which  meeting  was 
to  be  held  every  Fourth  Day  of  the  week  next  but  one  before 
every  Monthly  Meeting,  and  a  report  of  the  proceedings  therein 
was  to  be  made  to  the  Kingwood  Meeting  if  required.  During 
1757  Hard  wick  made  several  requests  to  Kingwood  for  the 
liberty  to  hold  a  youths'  meeting.  On  10  of  5  month,  1757, 
Hardwick  Friends  requested  that  the  Monthly  Meeting  be  held 


HARDWICK  SOCCETY  OF  FRIENDS.  39 

at  their  place  sometimes ;  and  their  request  having-  been  granted, 
it  was  arranged  that  the  Monthly  Meeting  should  be  held  at 
Hardwick  every  other  month  and  continue  so  till  Friends  may 
see  cause  to  order  it  otherwise.  Accordingly  the  first  Quarterly 
Meeting  ever  held  in  Warren  county  was  held  at  Hardwick 
Meeting-house  in  6th  month,  1759,  N.  S. 

The  Hardwick  Society  was  now  in  its  youthful  vigor.  The 
petty  persecutions  it  had  endured  during  the  French  and  Indian 
War  because  of  refusal  to  train  for  military  service  had  only 
strengthened  it.  The  regular  coming  of  visitors  from  Hunter- 
don county  to  attend  the  Quarterly  Meeting  naturally  excited 
a  desire  for  a  larger  and  better  meeting-house.  The  matter 
was  talked  over  and  finally  brought  before  the  Quarterly  Meet- 
ing in  the  form  of  a  proposition  to  rebuild  the  Hardwick  Meet- 
ing-house. A  committee  was  appointed,  and  the  sum  of  80 
pounds  was  raised  by  subscription  at  Hardwick  and  Kingwood. 
On  10  of  2  month,  1763,  Peter  Schmuck  and  Jacob  Lundy  were 
named  as  additional  members  of  that  committee;  and  it  was 
agreed  that  said  house  should  be  40  feet  long  and  25  feet  wide 
in  the  clear  and  one  story  high.  The  new  building  was  finished 
in  1764. 

Hardwick  was  separated  from  Kingwood  and  authorized  as 
a  distinct  Monthly  Meeting  on  21  of  i  month,  1797;  the  first 
minutes  are  dated  the  first  day  of  sixth  month  the  same  year. 
The  following  Elders  were  continued  in  ofiice :  William  Shot- 
well,  Ebenezer  Willson,  George  Lundy,  Jacob  Lundy,  Jr., 
Mercy  Brotherton,  Mary  Willson,  Jehoaden  Willson,  and 
Esther  Lundy.  George  Lundy  had  been  an  Overseer  in  the 
Kingwood  Meeting  since  1785.  After  the  unhappy  contro- 
versy of  1827  which  rent  in  twain  the  Society  of  Friends,  the 
Hardwick  Monthly  Meeting  entered  into  fellowship  with  the 
branch  commonly  called  Hicksite.  The  number  of  members 
was  steadily  diminished  by  a  stream  of  removals  to  Pennsyl- 
vania, Virginia,  New  York,  Ohio,  and  Canada.  The  last  meet- 
ing at  the  Hardwick  Meeting-house  was  held  on  2nd  day  of 
2nd  month,  1854;  and  the  Society  was  laid  down  at  a  meeting 
held  on  9th  day  of  6th  month,  1855,  in  the  Mendham  Meeting- 
house, in  Randolph  township,  Morris  county,  N.  J.  The 
records  were  given  to  the  Plainfield  Society  in  Union  county, 
N.  J..  The  meeting-house  and  the  adjoining  land  was  sold  in 
1865  to  Jesse  Adams ;  the  burying-ground  is  still  owned  by  the 


4o  gUAKER   MEETING. 

Society  and  is  visited  yearly  by  a  committee  of  Friends  from 
Plaintield.  The  meeting-house  itself  was  torn  down  in  1866 
and  a  school-house  erected  on  the  foundations.  The  foregoing 
account  of  the  Hard  wick  Society  of  Friends  until  its  separation 
from  Kingwood  is  based  almost  entirely  un  the  minutes  of  the 
Kmgwoud  Aionthly  Meeting;  1  am  indebted  for  many  of  the 
items  to  the  kindness  of  Alary  (VVillson)  Vail  of  Quakertown, 
N.  J.,  since  deceased,  but  the  notes  furnished  by  her  have  been 
supplemented  by  data  taken  from  The  Kingwood  Records  as 
edited  by  Prof.  J.  W.  Aioore,  Lafayette  College,  Easton,  Pa., 
and  published  in  The  Jersey  man  by  Mr.  H.  E.  Deats  of  Flem- 
ington,  N.  J. 

Reaiiniscences. 

The  following  account  of  the  homesteads  in  the  Quaker  Set- 
tlement with  reminiscences  of  the  Hardwick  Society  of  Friends 
has  been  furnished  to  me  by  Airs.  Richard  T.  Armstrong : 

'T  will  describe,"  writes  she,  "the  meeting-house  of  the 
Hardwick  Society  of  Friends.  It  was  built  of  dark-colored 
hmestone ;  it  was  a  low  solid-looking  structure  forty  feet  by 
twenty-five  on  the  inside,  with  a  chimney  at  the  west  end  and 
two  front  doors  facing  the  south.  It  stood  on  elevated  ground 
in  the  midst  of  a  natural  grove  three  acres  in  extent.  A  short 
distance  east  of  the  meeting-house  and  almost  in  line  with  it, 
there  were  substantial  sheds  for  the  horses  to  be  tied  in.  The 
road  coming  from  Johnsonburg  forks  at  the  corner  of  the 
woods ;  one  branch  passes  straight  ahead  along  the  western  side 
of  the  lot,  and  the  other,  which  leads  to  AUamuchy,  turns  sharp 
to  the  left  and  bouiuls  the  grove  on  the  north.  Barring  the 
drive- ways,  the  grounds  were  well  in  with  natural  grass,  free 
from  straggling  under-l)rush,  and  well  shaded  by  the  primitive 
forest  trees.  The  l)eautiful  greensward,  the  dense  shade,  the 
songs  of  the  birds  and  tlie  chirrup  of  the  squirrels  made  it  a 
cool  and  pleasant  retreat. 

"On  the  north  side  of  the  building  there  was  a  small  door, 
which  opened  into  the  east-room ;  this  door  was  never  used 
for  going  in  or  out,  but  always  stood  open  in  hot  weather 
during  meeting-time  for  the  purpose  of  ventilation,  there  being 
no  window  on  that  side  of  the  building.  The  entrance  doors, 
as  I  have  said,  were  on  the  south  side,  one  near  the  middle  of 
each  room;  these  doors  were  made  of  narrow  boards  fitted

diagonally,  a  peculiarity  which  rendered  them  noticeable  and 
always  attracted  the  attention  of  passers-by  as  long  as  the 
meeting-house  remained  standing. 

"The  interior  was  divided  into  two  apartments  by  a  partition 
so  arranged  that  it  could  be  removed  and  the  two  rooms  thrown 
into  one.  This  partition  was  paneled,  and  the  upper  part  could 
be  unfastened  at  the  top  and  slid  down  on  one  side  of  the 
stationary  part  below  which  stood  two  and  a  half  or  three  feet 
above  the  tioor.  This  arrangement  for  dividing  the  house  was 
a  matter  of  economy  as  well  as  comfort,  because  in  cold  weather 
only  one  room  was  needed  and  only  that  part  had  to  be  warmed. 
In  the  west  room  there  was  a  fireplace  and  chimney ;  in  the  east 
room  there  was  a  large  ten-plate  stove.  The  movable  partition 
was  in  three  parts;  one  of  these  was  on  the  elevation,  and  the 
rest  of  it  had  to  be  in  two  pieces,  because  there  was  a  door  con- 
necting the  two  rooms.  On  special  occasions  when  the  parti- 
tions had  been  taken  down,  the  door  itself  was  removed  for 
the  time,  but  the  posts  were  stationary.  The  seats  were  plain 
benches  about  eight  feet  long;  some  of  them  had  home-made 
cushions.  The  supports  resting  on  the  fioor  reached  eight  or 
ten  inches  above  the  seats  at  the  ends,  having  a  circular  hole 
cut  in  each,  rounding  up  on  the  front,  and  narrowing  above  to 
the  back-rest,  which  was  fastened  across  rather  high.  A  few 
inches  above  the  tioor  another  narrow  strip  of  board  ran  parallel 
to  the  seat,  both  front  and  back,  which  was  convenient  for  the 
little  folks  to  rest  their  feet  on.  The  woodwork  throughout  was 
unpainted,  but  scrupulously  clean. 

"On  the  north  side  and  extending  the  entire  length  of  the 
building,  there  was  an  elevated  platform  two  steps  up  and  about 
five  feet  wide.  This  was  the  pulpit.  A  seat  along  the  wall,  a 
railing  in  front  about  the  right  height  for  a  person  to  put  his 
hand  on  when  speaking,  a  board-front  reaching  from  the  floor 
to  the  railing,  a  low  bench  along  the  front  side  convenient  for 
the  speaker  to  kneel  on  in  prayer — these  constituted  the  outfit 
for  the  speaker's  accommodation.  There  was  an  aisle  from 
each  door,  and  each  aisle  ended  in  the  front  of  each  room  at  a 
stair  of  two  low  steps  up  to  the  speaker's  platform ;  and  the 
seats  were  so  arranged  with  their  ends  along  the  aisle  and  their 
backs  toward  the  door  that  the  listeners  sat  facing  the  platform. 

"The  stove  in  the  east  room  was  close  to  the  platform.  One 
seat  was  placed  next  to  the  sHding  partition  and  facing  the 


42  QUAKER   MEETING. 

Stove;  the  front  seats  being  movable,  were  sometimes  turned 
at  right  angles  to  the  regular  row ;  and  thus  the  people  could  sit 
facing  the  stove  on  both  sides  of  it  and  in  front  of  it,  a  good 
arrangement  in  cold  weather.  It  was  a  large  stove,  between 
three  and  four  feet  high  at  least ;  and  it  must  have  taken  a  stick 
three  feet  long,  if  not  longer.  While  writing  these  lines,  I 
seem  to  hear  the  ticking  of  that  stove,  which,  as  it  cooled  down 
or  grew  hotter  by  turns,  gave  out  loud,  clear,  clock-like  ticks 
constantly.  Wood  for  use  during  service  lay  under  the  stove 
and  by  it ;  but  there  was  seldom  any  need  to  fix  the  fire  during 
the  time  of  worship,  for  the  sexton  understood  his  business  well 
and  had  such  a  bed  of  hot  coals  that  it  kept  the  room  warm 
throughout  with  little  trouble.  Many  times  have  I  sat  on  the 
bench  by  the  stove  with  my  back  toward  the  partition,  and 
warmed  my  feet  and  burned  my  face,  and  then,  when  thor- 
oughly warmed,  have  moved  to  the  seat  facing  the  front  of  the 
stove.  In  cold  weather  we  did  not  venture  to  go  very  far  from 
the  stove.  In  the  west  room  I  always  sat  on  the  front  seats 
back  of  the  inner  door. 

"Meetings  for  worship  were  usually  held  in  the  east  room; 
the  men  always  entered  the  house  by  the  door  of  the  east  room ; 
and  the  women  always  entered  by  the  west  door  and  passed 
through  that  apartment  into  the  east  room.  When  both  rooms 
were  used,  the  women  always  sat  in  the  room  where  the  fire- 
place was.  The  older  Friends  generally  sat  on  the  front  side- 
seats  facing  the  stove,  and  the  young  people  would  sit  farther 
back,  so  that  if  1  looked  up  the  aged  members  were  the  only 
ones  I  could  see.  When  the  old  men  on  the  front  seats  began 
to  shake  hands  together,  then  we  knew  that  the  meeting  was 
dismissed.  On  special  occasions  when  the  church  would  be 
filled  and  the  partition  removed,  the  older  members  always  sat 
on  the  platform  with  the  speakers,  leaving  the  benches  below 
for  visitors.  At  these  large  gatherings,  the  women  always 
spoke  from  the  platform  in  the  west  room  and  the  men  from  the 
platform  in  the  east  room.  All  the  speakers  were  apt  to  lay 
their  hands  on  the  railing  while  they  spoke;  and  those  who 
prayed  aloud  generally  knelt  on  the  foot-benches;  and  better 
prayers  have  I  never  heard  than  I  have  in  that  old  Quaker  meet- 
ing-house, and  some  of  the  best  speakers  I  ever  heard  I  heard 
there  also. 

"Once  in  a  great  while  in  the  summer  time,  when  the  wor- 


QUAKER  MEETING.  43 

shipers  were  sitting  there  so  quiet  and  still  with  the  doors  wide 
open,  a  little  squirrel  would  come  tripping  in,  and,  surprised  at 
finding  occupants,  would  quickly  in  its  own  dialect  offer  apology 
for  its  intrusion  and  make  off  again  in  a  hurry,  I  was  sure  to 
look  up  as  soon  as  I  felt  I  dare  at  some  of  the  dear  old  Quaker 
men,  and  I  was  just  as  sure  to  find  one  of  them  looking  at  me. 

"Meetings  for  worship  were  held  twice  a  week,  on  Sunday 
and  again  on  Wednesday  or  Thursday,  or  to  express  it  in 
Friends'  language,  on  First  day  and  on  Fourth  or  Fifth 
day.  One  of  the  mid-week  meetings  was  termed  the 
Monthly  Meeting;  during  the  other  weeks  of  the  month, 
regular  worship  was  held  on  the  other  day  from  what 
the  Monthly  Meeting  was.  Quarterly  Meeting  was  held 
at  Shrewsbury  in  May,  at  Rahway  in  summer,  at 
Plainfield  in  the  fall,  and  at  Hardwick  in  the  winter. 
My  father's  house  was  filled  to  overflowing  at  such  times.  The 
Friends  from  the  other  societies  came  to  attend  the  meetings, 
which  were  continued  during  the  greater  part  of  the  week,  and 
were  entertained  among  the  members  of  the  Hardwick  society. 
My  father's  house  seems  to  have  been  built  with  the  purpose 
in  view  of  entertaining  large  companies  for  days,  it  having  five 
spare  sleeping  rooms  ever  ready  for  friends  that  might  favor 
us  with  a  visit,  and  when  needed  two  more  could  be  made  to  do 
duty  with  little  change ;  in  fact,  all  the  rooms  could  be  con- 
verted into  sleeping  rooms  with  little  trouble  except  the  two 
largest,  which  were  parlor  and  dining  room ;  for  a  second  house 
with  four  large  rooms  stood  but  a  few  feet  from  the  dwelling, 
and  could  be  made  to  serve  for  kitchen  and  cook-house  and  for 
all  the  other  work  that  was  necessary  at  times  like  those.  How 
we  all  enjoyed  those  days  with  the  dear  old  Friends,  who  were 
accompanied  by  the  younger  members  of  their  families.  Among 
those  I  more  particularly  remember  were  Joseph  La  Fetra  and 
his  wife  and  daughters,  especially  his  daughter  Elizabeth  only 
recently  deceased ;  John  Borden  and  his  wife  Miriam  and  their 
adopted  son,  John  W.  Borden,  who  died  years  ago ;  and  Thomas 
Borden  and  his  wife  Susan. 

"My  father  and  mother  attended  Quarterly  Meeting  at 
Shrewsbury  in  the  spring  of  1849  and  took  me  along.  It  was 
on  this  trip  and  at  New  Brunswick  that  I  saw  ships  for  the  first 
time  in  my  life ;  as  father  drove  through  the  town,  I  could  look 
down  each  cross  street  and  see  the  ships  on  the  Raritan  river. 


44  QUAKER   MEETING, 

I  was  then  thirteen  years  of  age.  It  was  a  two  days'  journey. 
By  starting-  early  they  reached  Plaintield  the  first  day,  where 
they  were  entertained  by  Friends.  Re-enfurced  by  a  number 
of  Friends  from  that  place,  they  set  out  early  the  next  morning 
and  drove  to  the  homes  of  other  Friends  near  Shrewsbury ;  by 
noon  the  next  day  there  would  be  several  wagons  in  company, 
and  they  all  stopped  at  the  sand  tavern,  as  we  called  it,  from  the 
fact  that  the  hotel  parlor  was  sprinkled  artistically  with  white 
sand,  it  being  in  the  pine  lands  where  there  was  nothing  but 
pine  trees  and  sand  for  miles  and  miles.  The  night  we  reached 
our  destination  we  stopped  at  Thomas  Borden's,  whose  house 
was  at  Deal  Beach,  his  being  one  of  a  few  large  houses  that 
were  filled  with  boarders  during  the  summer  season.  They 
woke  me  early  in  the  morning  in  time  to  go  out  on  the  porch 
on  the  east  side  of  the  third  story  of  their  house  to  see  the  sun 
rise  out  of  the  ocean,  the  first  time  I  had  ever  gazed  upon  that 
watery  waste.  We  attended  all  the  sessions  of  the  Quarterly 
Meeting.  One  night  we  stayed  at  John  Borden's;  he  had  just 
completed  a  new  frame  house,  the  yard  yet  to  be  levelled.  We 
also  stopped  at  Joseph  La  Fetra's  a  part  of  the  time ;  the  visit- 
ing delegates  being  entertained  at  the  homes  of  the  different 
Friends. 

"On  our  return  the  traveling  Friends  were  in  company 
through  the  pines.  A  stranger  was  in  danger  of  getting  lost; 
it  was  difficult  to  trace  one's  way  over  the  loose  soil  because  the 
scant  verdure  on  being  driven  over  a  few  times  became  stirred 
into  the  sand,  which  filled  in  the  ruts  behind  the  passing  wheels 
so  that  no  track  was  left.  A  woodroad  could  not  be  distin- 
guished from  the  main  highway,  except  by  those  who  were 
familiar  with  the  country.  While  at  the  sand  tavern  on  our 
return,  a  number  of  the  younger  members  of  the  company 
wished  to  walk  on  in  advance  and  let  the  wagons  overtake  them. 
After  l)eing  carefully  directed,  we  started,  but  before  we  were 
out  of  sight,  one  of  the  Friends  who  were  hitching  up  the 
teams  had  U>  run  to  overtake  us  and  shout  to  us  that  we  had 
taken  the  wrong  road.  The  soft,  deep  sand  here  in  the  pines 
quickly  wearied  our  horses  and  made  them  break  out  into  a 
dripping  sweat,  for  they  were  accustomed  to  solid  roads ;  on  the 
other  hand  when  Friends  from  Shrewsbury  came  to  Hardwick 
to  attend  Quarterly  Meeting,  our  steep  hills  caused  their  horses 
to  fret  and  worry.

"The  Hardvvick  meeting-house  was  torn  clown  to  the  foun- 
dation in  1866  by  a  gathering  of  neighbors,  and  rebuilt  for  a 
school-house  and  made  two  stories  high  so  as  to  have  a  Sunday- 
school  room  above.  The  nails  in  the  woodwork  had  been  made 
by  hand  and  had  large  flat  heads  more  than  an  inch  broad ;  and 
the  mortar  was  found  to  be  so  firm  and  strong  that  the  stones 
broke  before  the  mortar  holding  them  together  would  give  way. 
The  date-stone  incut  with  the  year  1764  and  showing  that  the 
building  was  more  than  a  century  old.  was  removed  from  the 
chimney  and  carefully  reset  in  the  south-side  foundation." 

"x*\mong  the  old  members  of  the  Hardwick  Society  were 
George  and  Levi  Lundy  and  their  wives,  Samuel  Laing  and  his 
wife  Edith,  John  Schmuck,  Ebenezer  Willson,  Mordecai  Will- 
son,  Gabriel  Willson  and  his  wife  Grace,  Joseph  Adams  and 
his  wife  Amy,  Abner  Willson  and  his  wife  Elizabeth,  and  the 
sons  and  daughters  of  many  of  these,  among  whom  I  may  men- 
tion James  Willson  and  his  wife  Amy,  Henry  Willson  and  his 
wife  Elizabeth,  Christopher  Schmuck  and  his  wife  Elizabeth, 
and  Abner  Willson's  daughters,  Mercy  and  Belinda,  who  mar- 
ried the  brothers  Alfred  and  Joel  Buckley,  and  also  Samuel 
Hoey  and  his  wife  Sarah  and  their  daughter  Mary." 

"When  Richard  Lundy  IL  and  his  wife  Elizabeth  Large 
came  to  New  Jersey,  they  took  up  land  lying  on  both  sides  of 
the  Bequest  river  and  extending  from  that  river  across  Pine 
Run  to  Bear  creek.  He  divided  this  property  into  two  farms ; 
the  one  along  the  Bequest  he  deeded  to  his  son  Jacob  Lundy ; 
the  other  he  left  by  will  to  his  son  Judge  Samuel  Lundy. 
Jacob's  share  of  the  old  estate  is  still  in  the  Lundy  name  and  is 
occupied  by  Eli  Vought  Lundy.  The  old  stone  dwelling  is 
inscribed  J  L  1783,  showing  that  it  was  built  in  the  year  1783 
by  Jonathan  Lundy.  The  property  has  been  owned  successively 
by  Richard  H.,  by  Jacob,  by  Jonathan,  by  Eli,  and  now  by  Eli's 
grandson,  Eli  Vought  Lundy." 

"In  1780,  Judge  Samuel  Lundy  built  a  stone  dwelling-house 
along  Bine  Run  on  his  share  of  the  old  plantation.  When  the 
Judge  died  in  1801,  he  left  the  farm  by  will  to  his  son  Samuel 
Lundy,  Jr.,  who,  in  1802,  married  Elizabeth  Shotwell  and  dwelt 
on  the  homestead  until  1816.  Joseph  Adams  of  Delaware, 
Knowlton  township,  had  married  Amy  Lundy,  the  youngest 
sister  of  Samuel,  Jr.  Joseph  had  decided  to  remove  to  New 
York  State,  and  with  this  purpose  in  view  he  had  purchased

some  land  near  Waterloo  in  Wayne  county,  N.  Y.  In  the  spring 
of  1816,  he  started  in  a  wagon  with  his  family  for  his  new  home. 
Leaving  Knowlton,  he  stopped  the  first  night  in  the  Quaker 
settlement  at  the  house  of  his  brother-in-law,  Samuel  Lundy, 
Jr.  In  the  morning  they  could  not  proceed  because  of  illness. 
The  result  of  the  entire  matter  was  that  Samuel  Lundy,  Jr., 
traded  his  homestead  for  Joseph's  uncleared  tract  of  land  in 
Wayne  county,  packed  up  and  started  at  once  for  his  newly 
acquired  possessions,  leaving  Joseph  Adams  permanently  in  the 
stone  house  where  the  intention  had  been  to  tarry  but  for  a 
night.  By  this  exchange  of  property,  a  large  Lundy  family  was 
transplanted  to  the  western  part  of  New  York  State,  and  a  large 
Adams  family  was  located  in  the  Quaker  settlement.  Since  the 
death  of  Joseph  Adams  the  farm  has  been  owned  by  James 
Warbasse,  Jesse  Wilson,  Sedgwick  R.  Reeder,  and  now  by 
Sedgwick's  son  Ira." 

"Jesse  Lundy,  son  of  Judge  Samuel  Lundy,  was  a  carpenter, 
and  lived  on  a  lot  near  the  Southtown  school-house.  Jesse  sold 
the  lot  and  afterward  removed  to  Canada.  James  Lundy, 
whose  wife  was  Elizabeth  Pettit,  lived  on  the  same  lot  before 
he  went  to  Ohio.  The  lot  was  owned  for  a  while  by  John  Hill- 
man,  but  is  now  a  part  of  the  estate  of  George  W.  Lundy." 

"Levi  Lundy,  a  brother  of  Jesse,  lived  farther  south,  on  the 
edge  of  Tamarack  swamp  near  the  confluence  of  Bear  creek  and 
Pine  Run.  Levi  sold  the  farm  in  his  old  age  and  removed  to 
Wyandotte  county,  Ohio,  with  his  married  sons.  Levi's  place 
was  afterward  owned  by  Aaron  Howell,  son  of  Levi  Howell. 
I  have  heard  my  father  say  that  there  once  was  a  corduroy  road 
extending  from  the  end  of  Levi  Lundy's  lane  to  an  island  farm 
out  in  the  swamp ;  but  this  road  was  abandoned  long  ago.  John 
Lundy,  Levi's  son,  before  he  removed  to  Ohio,  lived  between 
Abner  Willson's  and  Judge  Samuel  Lundy's,  but  on  the 
opposite  side  of  the  road." 

"George  Lundy.  another  son  of  Judge  Samuel,  married 
Esther  Willson.  Their  old  homestead  lies  on  both  sides  of  the 
road  leading  toward  Johnsonburg,  and  borders  on  Glover's 
pond.  It  was  owned  by  their  son  David,  who  married  Sarah 
Wildrick,  and  afterward  by  George  Wildrick  Lundy,  a  son  of 
David  and  Sarah.  The  Southtown  school-house  stands  on  land 
donated  from  this  estate." 

"Jonathan  Willson  lived  at  first  on  the  farm  of  his  father 


48  QUAKER    HOMESTEADS. 

Ebenezer,  near  the  Allamuchy  station  ;  but  he  sold  this  and 
bought  land  at  the  foot  of  the  Jenny  Jump  mountain,  along 
Bear  creek  opposite  Judge  Samuel  Lundy's.  Jonathan  left  it  to 
his  son  Lewis ;  and  it  still  remains  in  the  family  name.  Abner 
and  Elizabeth  Bunting  once  lived  at  the  same  corner,  on  the 
opposite  side  of  the  road." 

"The  homestead  of  Samuel  and  Edith  (Lundy)  Laing  was 
about  a  mile  and  a  half  from  Johnsonburg  on  the  left  hand  side 
of  the  road  leading  to  Alamuche.  Their  son,  Joseph  Chapman 
Laing,  inherited  the  farm;  he  married  Phebe  Ann  Bunting, 
and  had  three  daughters  and  a  son  Watson,  who  married  Sarah 
Kennedy  and  left  a  son,  George  Irving  Laing.  The  farm  was 
eventually  sold  to  Isaac  Stickles  and  is  now  (1902)  owned  by 
Isaac's  son  John." 

"Ira  K.  Willson  during  the  earlier  part  of  his  married  life, 
lived  between  Johnsonburg  and  Samuel  Laing's,  over  the  hill 
from  Dark  Moon  brook  and  the  old  stone  dwelHng-house  of 
Dr.  Samuel  Kennedy." 

"Josiah  Dyer,  Jr.,  and  his  wife  Rachel  Schooley.  settled  at  a 
very  early  day  on  the  farm  adjoining  that  of  Samuel  Laing. 
The  Dyer  farm  was  owned  for  many  years  by  Cummins  O. 
Harris,  and  has  recently  been  purchased  by  Ford  Staples." 

"Going  from  Samuel  Laing's  toward  the  meeting-house,  we 
pass  the  houses  of  Joseph  E.  Dyer  and  Tobias  Stillwell,  and 
come  to  the  property  of  Christian  and  Mary  (Lundy)  Schmuck, 
which  passed  to  their  son  John,  who  married  Martha  Willets. 
The  house  stands  elevated  and  on  the  right,  with  the  other 
buildings  across  the  road  and  l)elow.  John  set  ofif  those  fields 
which  lie  back  from  the  road  as  a  separate  farm  and  willed  it  to 
the  three  children  of  his  daughter,  Sarah  Hoey  Sclimuck,  who 
had  married  Cummins  O.  Harris.  This  inner  farm  is  now 
owned,  but  not  occupied,  by  Levi  Kittle.  John's  son  Christian 
married  Elizabeth  Laing  and  settled  some  distance  below  Long 
Bridge,  near  Meadville  school-house,  where  he  farmed  and  ran 
a  sawmill." 

"George  Lundy,  Junior,  was  the  son  of  George  and  Esther 
(Willson)  Lundy.  He  married  Ruth  Adams  and  settled  near 
the  Friends'  meeting-house,  on  the  road  leading  to.Greensville. 
George  died  about  1824.  When  the  children  became  of  age,  the 
farm  was  sold  to  William  Hart,  and  afterward  was  owned  by 
William's  daughter  Ellen   (Hart)  Craig,  now  deceased."

"Adjoining  the  farm  of  George  and  Ruth  stood  the  house 
built  and  occupied  by  Samuel  Lundy  of  Muncy,  whose  wife 
Sarah  was  a  daughter  of  Judge  Samuel  Lundy.  Muncy  Samuel 
died  in  that  house  and  was  buried  in  Friends  yard.  Sarah  was 
a  great  lover  of  flowers ;  and  she  had  all  the  varieties,  old  and 
new,  known  at  that  time.  Her  flower-garden  was  the  admira- 
tion of  the  neighborhood.  She  rented  one  of  her  front  rooms 
to  a  Mr.  Loder,  but  reserved  a  large  bed  of  pinks  in  front  of  the 
door ;  and  Mrs.  Loder  used  to  say  to  her,  'I  get  all  the  praise  of 
those  lovely  flowers  without  having  any  of  the  care  of  them.' 

"Samuel  Patterson  and  his  wife  Lucy  lived  between  the 
meeting-house  and  the  grave-yard." 

"Ebenezer  Willson,  son  of  Robert  and  Mary,  married 
Jehoaden  Schooley  and  lived  during  the  latter  part  of  his  life 
on  the  first  farm  west  of  the  AUamuchy  station  in  a  dwelling- 
house  which  stood  a  short  distance  from  the  point  where  the 
road  winding  up  from  the  meadows  joins  the  main  road 
between  AUamuchy  and  Johnsonburg.  After  Ebenezer's  death, 
his  son  Jonathan  sold  the  estate  to  the  late  George  H.  Ayers." 

"Robert  and  Mary  (Lundy)  Willson  lived  along  the  same 
road  westward  and  nearer  the  Request  river.  I  call  this  the 
Robert  Willson  homestead,  for  it  was  first  owned  by  Robert 
and  has  always  been  owned  and  occupied  by  some  of  his 
descendants  in  the  male  line ;  he  himself  deeded  it  to  his  son 
Ebenezer  on  22  day  of  2  month,  1762  ;  Ebenezer  deeded  it  to  his 
son  David  in  January,  1822;  and  David  to  his  son  Amos  on 
April  I,  1842;  and  Amos's  son  John  now  has  it." 

"At  the  junction  of  the  three  roads  coming  from  Long 
Bridge,  the  meeting-house  and  Judge  Lundy's  was  the  Hoey 
lot,  and  here  lived  Samuel  and  Sarah  Hoey  and  their  widowed 
daughter  Mary  Shaw." 

"The  home  of  James  and  Elsie  (Smalley)  Shotwell  was  on 
the  road  leading  from  AUamuchy  to  Long  Bridge.  Their 
stone  dwelling-house  bears  the  date  1770;  it  stands  near  the 
creamery  and  is  in  good  repair.  It  was  afterward  owned  by 
their  son  Jonathan  and  subsequently  by  Jonathan's  daughter 
Emelissa,  and  now  by  Mr.  J.  C.  Runyon." 

"Robert  and  Rhoda  (Dell)  Willson  lived  at  Long  Bridge 
near  AUamuchy." 

"The  Buckley  homestead  was  in  to  the  left  of  the  road  leading 
from  Long  Bridge  to  the  Hoey  lot ;  it  was  a  part  of  the  early

Lundy  tract  and  was  next  owned  by  a  Stevenson,  who  sold  it 
to  George  Buckley;  it  has  since  been  owned  by  Silas  Hibler, 
and  is  now  owned  by  Sanford  Hibler." 

"The  homestead  of  Gabriel  and  Grace  (Brotherton)  Willson 
was  on  the  road  from  the  meeting-house  to  Long  Bridge,  lying 
on  both  sides  of  said  road  after  turning  to  the  right,  say,  half  a 
mile  south  of  the  meeting-house,  at  a  point  where  three  roads 
meet.  Moses  Applegate  lives  there  now.  This  land  probably 
belonged  to  Gabriel's  parents,  Gabriel  and  Elizabeth  (Lundy) 
Willson.  After  the  death  of  Gabriel  and  Grace,  the  homestead 
was  partitioned  among  their  three  sons — Enoch  receiving 
98  acres  on  the  south  side  of  the  road ;  James  receiving  the  same 
amount  on  the  north  side,  and  Henry,  who  was  a  weaver  by 
trade,  receiving  only  40  acres  at  the  parting  of  the  roads." 

"Joseph  Willson  lived  near  Gabriel,  a  little  eastward,  at  the 
bridge  across  the  river.  I  think  this  Joseph  was  a  brother  of 
my  grandmother,  Esther  (Willson)  Lundy.  Joseph's  farm 
passed  to  his  son  James,  w^ho  sold  it  and  removed  to  New  York 
State." 

"Abner  Willson,  son  of  Gabriel  and  Heziah  (Decker)  Will- 
son,  married  Elizabeth  Lundy  and  lived  on  what  is  now  the 
Samuel  Drake  farm.  After  Abner's  death  the  place  passed  to 
his  son  Abijah ;  and  after  Abijah's  death,  it  was  sold  to  Samuel 
Drake,  whose  wife  is  a  great-grandchild  of  Abner  Willson. 
The  farm  is  a  short  distance  northwest  of  the  Hoey  lot." 

"Jacob  Lundy,  son  of  Eli  and  Abigail  (Dickerson)  Lundy, 
now  dwells  on  the  east  bank  of  Bear  creek  along  the  road  lead- 
ing from  Johnsonburg  to  Judge  Samuel  Lundy's." 

"Eli  Willson  married  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Isaac  and  Ann 
(Large)  Lundy.  Eli's  home  was  in  the  settlement  on  the  road 
leading  from  Johnsonburg  to  Judge  Samuel  Lundy's.  Eli's 
farm  passed  to  his  daughter  Deborah,  who  had  married 
Theodore  F.  Johnson;  after  Deborah's  death  the  farm  was 
bought  by  John  Roe,  thus  passing  out  of  the  family." 

"Mahlon  Willson.  son  of  Samuel  Willson  HL  and  his  wife. 
Deborah  Collins,  left  the  Quaker  settlement  in  the  year  1798  and 
bought  land  in  GVeen  township  on  its  extreme  edge  toward 
Newton.  His  homestead  was  near  the  Big  Spring  and  was 
west  of  Springdale  on  the  road  to  Fredon ;  and  there,  after 
Mahlon's  day.  dwelt  his  son  Obed.  and  there  now  dwells  Obed's 
son  Obed."

"I  must  not  omit  to  mention  that  there  was  a  school  near  the 
Friends'  grove ;  it  was  in  the  field  west  of  the  meeting-house, 
up  in  the  corner,  and  nearly  opposite  the  end  of  the  road  coming 
from  Greensville  past  George  and  Ruth  Lundy's.  Every  trace 
of  the  building  has  disappeared,  even  its  foundations.  Among 
the  teachers  were  Betty  Willson,  Clarissa  Chedister,  Mary 
Atkinson ;  I  am  told  that  these  persons  taught  there  previously 
to  1832  and  that  the  building  even  then  was  old.  Times  were 
so  hard  during  the  Civil  War  and  so  much  money  had  to  be 
raised  that  no  repairs  were  made  if  it  could  possibly  be  avoided ; 
and  thus  the  building  got  out  of  repair ;  and  at  the  close  of  the 
war,  it  was  deemed  wise  to  abandon  the  old  school-house  and 
erect  a  new  one  on  the  site  of  the  meeting-house,  which  had 
not  been  used  for  worship  by  Friends  for  ten  or  twelve  years." 

Origin  of  Surnames. 

Every  family  name  had  a  beginning ;  there  was  a  time  and  a 
place  and  a  reason  for  its  first  use  ;  and  it  may  be  of  interest  to 
specify  here  briefly  a  few  of  the  ways  in  which  surnames  origi- 
nated. 

Many  family  names  denote  the  trade  or  occupation  of  an 
ancestor ;  thus  if  there  were  three  men  in  the  community,  each 
bearing  the  baptismal  name  of  John,  they  would,  for  the  sake 
of  distinction,  be  spoken  of  as  John  the  miller,  John  the  weaver, 
and  John  the  mason ;  and  these  descriptive  terms  would  soon 
be  shortened  into  John  Miller.  John  Weaver,  and  John  Mason. 
This  is  why  we  have  so  many  Cooks  and  Bakers,  so  many 
Brewers  and  Shoemakers  and  Fishers  and  Hunters,  so  many 
Coopers,  Carpenters,  Painters,  Sawyers,  Turners,  Potters, 
Skinners,  Tanners,  Thatchers,  Taylors,  Tylers,  Smiths  and 
\\'rights. 

There  is  a  large  group  of  names  that  indicate  parentage. 
George,  the  son  of  William,  was  called  George  William's-son, 
which,  by  a  natural  change  of  stress,  became  George  William- 
son. Enoch,  the  son  of  Richard,  was  in  like  manner  called 
Enoch  Richardson  ;  and  in  this  way  there  were  formed  such 
names  as  Albertson,  Anderson,  Dixon,  Edison,  Morrison,  Nel- 
son, Paterson,  Thomson,  Willson,  Jefferson,  Madison,  Jackson 
and  Harrison. 

Nicknames  were  common  in  all  ranks  of  society,  and  so  it 
happened  that  many  epithets  which  were  originally  bestowed  on 


52  ORIGIN  OF  SURNAMES. 

individuals  to  describe  some  personal  peculiarity  have  hardened 
into  surnames ;  to  this  class  are  to  be  assigned  Little,  Small, 
Large,  Long,  Short,  Stout,  Young,  Rich,  Poor,  Quick,  Gay, 
Sage,  Wise,  Hardy,  Moody,  Stark,  Broadhead,  Armstrong, 
Cruikshank,  and  Longfellow.  Variations  in  complexion  and  in 
the  color  of  hair  or  clothing  have  furnished  the  names  of 
Brown,  Black,  Reed,  White  and  Gray.  , 

Common  nouns  denoting  locality  have  formed  a  very  prolific 
source  of  surnames,  having  been  added  to  the  baptismal  names 
of  individuals.  If  there  were  three  men  by  the  Christian  name 
of  John,  one  living  near  the  ford  and  one  in  the  lane,  and  the 
third  along  the  marsh,  they  would  naturally  l>e  spoken  of  among 
their  neighbors  as  John  Ford,  John  Lane,  and  John  Marsh.  An 
examination  of  the  ancient  tax-lists  of  an  English  village  fur- 
nishes numerous  illustrations ;  for  the  names  of  the  tax-payers 
are  recorded  after  this  fashion :  Willilmus  de  Grene,  Adam 
atte  Hall,  Ricardus  atte  Brigg,  Ricardus  atte  Well,  Johnannes 
del  Hill,  Jacobus  under  Wood,  and  Eduardus  atte  Water. 
Among  the  names  of  this  origin  are  Park,  Glen,  Mount,  Brook, 
Bank,  Street,  Down,  Dell,  Dale,  Ridge,  Peak,  Mead,  Lee,  and 
Moore. 

Carlisle,  Kent,  and  Lincoln  may  be  cited  as  examples  of 
family  names  that  have  been  derived  directly  from  the  proper 
names  of  towns  and  parishes ;  and  here,  too,  belongs  the  end- 
less list  of  family  names  ending  in  -ham  and  -ton,  meaning 
home  and  town,  such  as  Cunningham,  Burnham,  Dunham. 
Durham,  Markham,  Pelham,  and  Windham,  and  Benton, 
Exton,  Newton,  Milton,  Walton,  Stockton,  Hamilton,  and 
Washington. 

Among  the  surnames  that  indicate  official  position  are  Butler, 
Page,  Chamberlain,  Porter,  Bowman,  Archer,  Knight.  Squire, 
Judge,  Earl,  Duke,  Lord,  Prince,  King.  Queen,  Priest,  Abbot, 
Bishop,  and  Pope ;  some  of  these  terms  denote  the  actual  rank 
of  an  ancestor ;  others  sometimes  merely  indicated  employment 
in  the  service  of  a  person  of  the  rank  named ;  sometimes  they 
were  nicknames,  pure  and  simple,  based  on  some  fancied  resem- 
blance in  appearance  or  character;  and  sometimes  they  were 
reminiscences  of  the  theatrical  part  played  by  an  ancestor  in  the 
outdoor  pageantries  once  so  popular  in  England. 

Some  households  bear  tbe  names  of  animals,  such  as  Swan, 
Drake.  Crane,  Heron,  Rook,  Partridge,  Pigeon,  Finch,  Hawk.

Jay,  and  other  birds ;  and  also  Fox,  Wolf,  Lyon,  Hare,  Beaver, 
Hart,  Roe,  Hind,  and  Bull.  It  is  probable  that  some  of  these 
were  bestowed  in  the  first  place  as  nicknames,  and  that  others 
were  derived  from  the  emblems  painted  on  tavern  signs  or  on 
business  signs  suspended  out  of  shop  windows;  for  in  those 
days  very  few  persons  were  able  to  read,  and  hence  it  was  neces- 
sary for  business  men  to  render  their  shops  conspicuous  by  the 
display  of  pictured  sign  boards. 

The  meaning  of  many  names  is  concealed  by  the  fact  that  they 
are  derived  from  words  once  in  common  use  but  now  obsolete; 
thus  Tod  meant  a  fox.  Brock  a  badger.  Pollard  a  cropped  tree. 
Hatch  a  gate.  Beck  a  brook,  Foss  a  ditch,  Shaw  a  thicket,  Penn 
a  hilltop,  Worth  a  farm,  Cobb,  a  harbor.  Holmes  a  flat  island, 
and  Chase  a  hunting  ground. 

Hunt  is  a  shortened  form  of  hunter ;  Starr,  of  starling ;  Gunn, 
of  gunner;  Ball,  of  Baldwin;  Spark,  of  sparrow  hawk;  and 
Norton  and  Sutton,  of  north-town  and  south-town.  Payne  is 
a  mutilated  form  of  pagan ;  Snooks,  of  seven-oaks ;  Summer,  of 
summoner ;  Foster,  of  forester ;  Senkler,  of  St.  Clair ;  Collins,  of 
St.  Nicholas ;  Dennis,  of  St.  Dionysius. 

Hughes  is  from  Hugh;  Mills  from  Miles;  Randall  from 
Ralph;  and  Davis  from  Davids.  Borden  means  the  den  of 
boars,  and  Harden  the  den  of  hares.  Ray,  Rae  and  Wray  are 
old  forms  of  roe,  a  deer.  Boone  and  Bunn  are  from  the  Latin 
word  "bonus,"  meaning  good. 

The  Shoemakers  made  shoes ;  the  Websters  wove ;  the  Wag- 
nors  and  the  Wainwrights  made  wagons ;  the  Arkwrights  made 
meal-chests ;  the  Playters  made  coats  of  mail ;  and  the  Reeders 
gathered  reeds  and  thatched  houses. 

Diminutive  suffixes  are  an  element  in  some  surnames.  Elliot 
means  little  Ellis;  Hewitt,  little  Hugh;  Emmet,  little  Emma; 
Willet  and  Wilcox  and  Wilkins,  little  Will ;  Robins,  little  Rob- 
ert; and  Dickens,  little  Dick. 

The  illustrations  thus  far  presented  have  been  selected  from 
the  English  language;  it  will  be  readily  understood  that  the 
same  principles  apply  to  the  origin  of  surnames  among  nations 
using  other  languages.  The  directory  of  any  large  city  will 
furnish  numerous  examples  of  the  family  names  of  the  Welsh, 
the  Irish,  the  Swedes,  the  Dutch,  the  Germans,  the  French,  the 
Spaniards,  the  Italians,  the  Poles,  and  the  Russians.  Many  of 
these  foreign  names  have  a  meaning,  but  not  to  our  English

ORIGIN   OF  SURNAMES. 


ears.  Pettit  and  Grant  and  Fort  arc  of  French  origin,  and 
mean  little  and  grand  and  strong;  Zimmerman  is  the  German 
for  carpenter ;  and  the  descendants  of  an  early  Polish  settler  in 
New  Jersey  named  Saberovveski  now  write  their  name  Zabris- 
kie.  Price  and  Bevan  are  contractions  of  the  Welsh  forms 
ap-Rice  and  ap-Evan,  meaning  son  of  Rice  and  son  of  Evan. 

In  discussing  the  origin  of  surnames,  it  must  be  borne  in 
mind  that  the  same  name  as  now  pronounced  and  spelled  may 
have  sprung  from  several  words  radically  distinct,  and  that 
each  of  these  words  may  have  been  assigned  for  a  different 
reason.  This  principle  is  well  illustrated  by  the  family  name  of 
Bell.  Turning  to  the  old  records,  we  meet  with  "Walter  le  Bel" 
(that  is,  Walter  the  Fair),  so  called  because  of  his  beautiful 
complexion;  and  "Richard  fil.  Bell"  (that  is,  Richard  the  son 
of  Isabel),  so  named  from  his  widowed  mother ;  and  lastly, 
"John  atte  Bell,"  so  designated  because  he  dwelt  at  the  Sign  of 
the  Bell. 

I  will  now  speak  concerning  the  Lundy  surname.  House- 
holds bearing  this  name  existed  at  an  early  day  in  England, 
Scotland,  Ireland,  Norway,  Sweden,  Germany,  and  France. 
This  wide  range  of  distribution  makes  it  almost  certain  that 
they  have  descended  from  several  dififerent  ancestors ;  and  con- 
sequently it  is  possible  for  the  word  Lundy  to  have  several  dif- 
ferent meanings. 

In  the  old  Norse  language  there  was  a  word  "lundi"  which 
meant  a  puffin,  a  sea-bird  that  congregates  in  immense  flocks  on 
rocky  coasts ;  and  it  is  said  that  the  name  was  given  to  certain 
persons  as  a  nickname. 

In  England  the  word  "lundy"  was  an  adjective  and  meant 
"heavy,  clumsy" ;  it  became  a  descriptive  surname.  The  adjec- 
tive "lundy"  is  unknown  in  America,  but  it  is  still  in  use  among 
the  common  people  in  several  parts  of  England.  Halliwell  in 
his  Dictionary  of  Archaic  and  Provincial  Words  defines  it  as 
"heavy,  clumsy" ;  and  Addy  in  his  Glossary  of  Words  used  in 
the  Neighborhood  of  Sheffield  explains  it  as  "awkward,  clumsy, 
heavy;  also  strong,  muscular."  I  find  the  following  illustra- 
tions of  the  meaning  of  the  word  in  Notes  and  Queries  (8th 
series,  vol.  X.,  page  272)  :  A  stout  elderly  person  unable  to 
walk  with  ease,  lacking  nimbleness,  is  lundy ;  a  bulky  article 
difficuh  to  carry  (not  because  of  its  weight)  is  lundy;  and  a 
reckless  rough  foot-baller  plays  a  lundy  game. 


ORIGIN  OF  SURNAMES.  55 

There  is  a  third  way  in  which  the  word  Lundy  in  some  in- 
stances may  have  become  a  surname.  We  call  a  grass-plat  a 
lawn ;  our  ancestors  called  it  a  laund ;  see  Bardsley's  English 
Surnames,  page  122.  Those  who  had  their  habitations  on  the 
greensward  in  the  heart  of  the  forest  received  the  family  names 
of  Laund,  Land,  Lander,  Lound,  Lond,  and  Lund.  Lundy  may 
be  a  diminutive  of  Lund,  and  mean  "little  lawn." 

The  village  of  Largo  is  in  Scotland  on  an  inlet  of  the  Firth 
of  Fourth ;  and  in  the  middle  of  a  park  near  this  village  stand 
three  straight  sharp  stones,  several  yards  high,  which  are 
known  as  "The  Standing  Stanes  of  Lundie."  Nothing  is  known 
concerning  their  origin  or  how  they  got  the  name  of  Lundie ; 
but  they  were  probably  erected  in  connection  with  the  religious 
rites  of  a  heathen  race  that  disappeared  ages  ago. 

There  is  an  island  named  Lundy  in  the  entrance  of  Bristol 
channel,  eleven  or  twelve  miles  off  the  coast  of  Devonshire.  It 
is  a  lofty  rampart  of  rocks ;  it  covers  an  area  of  920  acres  and 
contains  fewer  than  200  inhabitants.  It  has  always  been  occu- 
pied as  a  nesting  place  by  enormous  numbers  of  puffins ;  hence 
its  name,  for  the  Isle  of  Lundy  means  the  Isle  of  Puffins. 
There  is  no  evidence  that  any  family  by  the  name  of  Lundy  ever 
had  anything  to  do  with  the  island. 

In  a  book  written  by  Joseph  Besse  and  published  by  him  at 
London  in  1753,  entitled  "Sufferings  of  the  People  Called 
Quakers,"  the  family  name  of  Laundy  occurs  several  times.  I 
do  not  venture  to  affirm  that  this  is  identical  with  Lundy ;  but  in 
view  of  the  fact  that  great  carelessness  and  irregularity  in  the 
spelling  of  proper  names  prevailed  in  England  at  that  time,  the 
similarity  is  suggestive.  Besse  says :  Richard  Laundy  was 
fined  i5  and  had  a  horse  worth  £8  10  s.  taken  from  him  for 
refusing  to  take  an  oath  at  the  Quarter  Sessions.  In  1668, 
Richard  Laundy  of  Boldenhurst  (and  others)  was  imprisoned 
on  an  Exchequer  Process.  In  1668  Richard  Laundy  of  Bolden- 
hurst was  fined  for  being  at  a  meeting  at  the  house  of  Thomas 
Sutton  in  Little  Saunton ;  see  Vol.  I.,  pp.  6-8,  in  the  Bedford- 
shire lists.  On  January  13,  1660,  Richard  Laundy,  Jeremy 
Laundy,  and  many  others  were  arrested  and  imprisoned  for 
being  at  Friends'  meeting  and  refusing  to  take  the  prescribed 
oath.  Lewis  Laundy  and  John  Laundy  are  also  mentioned ;  see 
Vol.  I.,  p.  242,  in  the  Hertfordshire  lists. 


PREFACE  TO  THE  GENEALOGY. 


This  genealogy  is  not  limited  to  individuals  bearing  the 
Lundy  name,  but  includes,  so  far  as  my  researches  have  been 
successful,  every  person  who  has  in  his  veins  any  of  the  blood 
of  Richard  Lundy  the  Emigrator,  no  matter  what  that  person's 
surname  now  is  and  no  matter  through  how  many  different 
surnames  that  person's  Lundy  relationship  is  derived. 

Memory  is  fickle  and  our  children  forget  in  a  week  facts  of 
relationship  and  ancestry  and  migration  which  we  would  re- 
member forever,  and  the  entries  which  we  write  on  the  blank 
pages  in  the  family  Bible  are  liable  to  loss  and  destruction  in  a 
dozen  different  ways;  and  therefore  it  is  evident  that  the  only 
safety  for  a  family  record  is  in  printer's  ink.  The  distribution 
of  printed  copies  bids  defiance  to  fire  and  other  accidents,  some 
copies  being  preserved  among  kinsmen  who  are  widely  dis- 
persed, and  other  copies  being  safely  lodged  in  the  fireproof 
alcoves  of  historical  societies  and  public  libraries.  The  page 
can  still  speak  on  after  the  voice  has  become  silent. 

Items  have  been  culled  from  every  possible  source, — from 
old  letters,  family  Bibles,  tombstones,  mortgages,  deeds  for 
land,  last  wills  and  testaments,  minutes  of  Friends'  meetings, 
local  histories,  and  colonial  documents ;  and  1  am  glad  to  say 
that  in  almost  every  line  of  descent  I  have  found  some  indi- 
viduals who  were  willing  and  able  to  furnish  information ;  I 
deeply  appreciate  their  kindness. 

But  all  the  problems  of  the  Lundy  kinship  have  not  been 
solved ;  there  are  lost  lines  and  missing  households  still,  a  fact 
not  to  be  wondered  at  when  we  consider  the  long  interval  of 
time  since  the  birth  of  the  first  American-born  Lundy,  the  loss 
of  written  records,  and  the  frequent  migrations  to  distant  re- 
gions in  search  of  new  homes.  I  hope  that  many  households, 
unknown  now  to  me  and  therefore  unrecorded  here,  may  be 
traced  out  hereafter  and  listed  properly  within  the  circle  of  the 
Lundy  kinship.  The  publication  of  this  book  will  render 
future  investigation  much  more  effective  by  revealing  to  all 
inquirers  the  exact  points  at  which  further  information  is  most 
needed. 

The  compilation  of  this  family  history  has  been  to  me  a  work 
of  pride  and  reverence  and  love  and  duty.

this  Group,  was  the  son  of  Richard  Lundy  IL  and  Elizabeth 
Large.  He  was  born  in  Bucks  county,  Pa.,  and  lived  there  until

Their  marriage  certificate  is  recorded  on  the  fourth  page  of  the 
Record  of  Marriages  for  the  Hardwick  and  Randolph  Monthly 
Meeting.  I  insert  a  copy  of  it,  retaining  the  old  style  spelling 
and  capitalization. 

Marri.\gk  Certificate. 

Whereas  Richard  Lundy,  jur.,  of  Maiden  Creek  in  the  County 
of  Philadelphia  and  Province  of  Pensylvania,  and  Anne  Will- 
son,  daughter  of  Sam'l  Willson  of  the  same  place  afsd,  having 
declared  their  intentions  of  marriage  with  each  other  before 
several  Monthly  Meetings  of  the  People  called  Quakers  in  the 
County  afsd,  according  to  the  good  order  among  them,  whose 
Proceedings  therein  after  a  deliberate  Consideration  thereof 
and  haveing  consent  of  Parents  and  Relations  concerned. 
Nothing  appearing  to  obstruct,  were  approved  of  by  the  sd 
Meeting. 

NOW  these  are  to  certify  all  whome  it  may  concern  that  for 
the  full  accomplishment  of  their  said  Intentions  this  Tenth  day 
of  the  Eighth  month  one  thousand  seven  hundred  and  thirty

in  a  Publick  Meeting  of  the  said  people  at  Maiden  Creek  in  the 
County  afsd  and  the  said  Richard  Lundy,  Taking  the  said  Anne 
Willson  by  the  hand,  did  in  a  solemn  manner  openly  declare 
that  he  Took  her  to  be  his  wife  promising  through  Devine  as- 
sistance to  be  a  Loveing  and  faithful  Husband  untill  death

untill  death  should  seperate  them. 

And  moreover  the  said  Richard  Lundy  and  Anne  Willson 
(She  according  to  custom  of  Marriage  assuming  the  Name  of 
her  Husband)  as  a  further  confirmation  thereof  did  then  and 
there  to  these  Presents  set  their  Hands.

On  the  27th  day  of  12th  mo.,  1745-6  (that  is,  February, 
1746),  Richard  requested  a  certificate  of  membership  for  him- 
self and  family  from  the  Exeter  Meeting;  and  on  12th  day  of 
4th  mo.,  1746,  he  presented  said  certificate  before  the  Bethle- 
hem Monthly  Meeting  in  Hunterdon  Co.,  N.  J.  He  settled  at 
the  Great  Meadows  near  Allamuchy,  Warren  Co.,  N.  J.  He 
was  elected  to  represent  the  old  township  of  Hardwick  on  the 
Board  of  Justices  and  Freeholders  of  Sussex  county  during 
1754  and  55,  and  is  designated  on  the  early  records  as  Richard 
Lundy,  Jr.  When  the  log-goal  was  built  at  the  village  now 
known  as  Johnsonburg,  a  dispute  arose  between  the  contractors 
and  the  county  authorities  as  to  the  manner  in  which  the  work 
had  been  done ;  so  the  Board  of  Freeholders  appointed  Richard 
to  meet  the  workmen  and  adjust  the  matter.  The  Court  of  the 
General  Sessions  of  the  Peace  appointed  him  to  serve  as  one  of 
the  commissioners  to  divide  the  county  into  additional  pre- 
cincts. On  the  account  book  of  the  Collector  of  Sussex  county, 
I  find  these  two  entries  made  during  the  year  1755  : 

"To  Richard  Lundy,  Jr.,  for  Wolf's  head £3." 

"To    Richard    Lundy,    Jr.,    for    killing    three    groan 

"Wolves  &  6  whelps ii3   los." 

Items  like  these  show  that  liberal  bounties  were  paid  for  the 
destruction  of  these  troublesome  beasts  of  prey,  and  give  us  a 
glimpse  of  those  early  days,  reminding  us  of  the  fact  that  Hard- 
wick township  was  at  that  time  only  a  frontier  settlement. 

Richard  Lundy  III.  died  November  17,  1756,  and  left  ten 


6o  RICHARD  LUNDY  III. 

children,  the  eldest  of  whom  was  only  sixteen  years  of  age.  It 
is  certain  that  Anne  his  widow  was  living  in  1778,  for  in  that 
year  her  son  Eliezer  produced  before  the  Falls  Meeting,  in 
writing,  Anne's  consent  to  his  marriage ;  and  tradition  says  that 
Anne  removed  in  1784  to  Virginia  with  her  son  John  and  made 
her  home  with  him  and  died  there  at  the  age  of  one  hundred 
and  two  years. 

The  last  Will  and  Testament  of  Richard  Lundy  the  Third, 
dated  November  i,  1756,  is  recorded  among  WILLS,  Liber  8, 
pages  475-476,  in  the  Office  of  the  Secretary  of  State,  Trenton, 
N.J.

ANN   WILLSON.  6;^ 

bly  the  son  (born  12  of  9,  1743)  of  Joseph  and  EHzabeth  Web- 
ster. Their  first  declaration  of  intentions  to  marry  was  made 
on  8  of  3,  1770.  They  had  at  least  one  child,  Mary,  who  resided 
within  the  compass  of  the  Hardwick  M.  M.,  and  removed  to 
Upper  Canada  some  time  previous  to  1821  ;  Mary  had  married 
a  Mr.  Tonkin  as  her  second  husband. 

Ebenezer  Lundy  applied  to  the  Kingwood  Meeting  on  6  of  9, 
1768.  for  a  certificate  of  removal  to  the  Wrightstown  Meeting 
in  Bucks  county,  Pa.  At  a  Monthly  Meeting  held  at  Falls, 
Bucks  county,  on  8  of  10,  1777,  Ebenezer  was  reported  for  hav- 
ing been  engaged  in  military  service  so  far  as  to  be  employed 
in  making  implements  of  war  such  as  tents  and  other  military 
atttire ;  and  the  minutes  further  show  that  on  being  treated  with 
he  was  so  far  from  seeing  his  error  that  he  rather  endeavored 
to  justify  his  conduct,  and  that  a  testimony  against  him  was 
accordingly  produced,  read,  approved  and  signed. 

Eliezer  Lundy  married  Christianna  Brown,  daughter  of 
Thomas  Brown,  with  the  approval  of  the  Falls  Meeting  in 
Bucks  county.  Pa.,  on  18  day  of  2  mo.,  1778.  Eliezer  is  desig- 
nated on  the  minutes  as  a  son  of  Richard  and  as  a  brother  of 
Ebenezer.  Eliezer  died  in  7th  mo.,  1782.  There  is  no  record 
of  any  children.  On  the  8  of  10,  .1777,  Eliezer  was  charged  be- 
fore the  Falls  Meeting  with  "being  employed  by  his  brother  in 
making  Tents,  &c.,  for  the  army" ;  he  was  present  and  offered 
a  paper  of  acknowledgment  for  his  misconduct  which  was  read 
and  received.  On  15  day  of  5  mo.,  1793,  Christianna  Lundy 
(perhaps  Eliezer's  widow)  married  George  Merrick  of  the 
Borough  of  Bristol.  Bucks  county,  Pa. 

No  further  information  concerning  Anne,  Ebenezer  or 
Eliezer. 

The  children  of  Richard  Lundy  IIL  emigrated  from  Warren 
county,  New  Jersey,  about  the  time  of  the  Revolutionary  War. 
So  complete  was  the  exodus  that,  so  far  as  known,  there  is  not 
a  single  person  residing  at  the  present  time  within  the  boundar- 
ies of  the  State  of  New  Jersey  that  can  trace  his  descent  in 
either  male  or  female  line  from  Richard  IIL  The  dispersal  was 
to  regions  far  remote.  Samuel  and  William,  the  eldest  sons, 
settled  in  Canada,  Samuel  locating  near  Newmarket  in  Ontario, 
and  William  at  Lundy's  Lane,  near  Niagara  Falls.  Amos, 
Richard  I\'..  John,  Sarah,  and  Azariah's  widow  went  south  and 
planted  a  colony  in  Grayson  and  Carroll  counties,  Virginia.

FIRST   BRANCH. 

SAMUEL  LUNDY  AND  SARAH  WEBSTER. 

OF   NEW    JERSEY;    OF   YORK   CO.,    ONTARIO. 

Richard  Lundy  II.  in  his  will  dated  21  of  2  mo.,  1772,  gives 
six  pounds  to  his  grandson  Samuel  Lundy,  Junior. 

The  minutes  of  the  Kingwood  Monthly  Meeting  show  that 
Samuel  Lundy,  Jr.,  and  Sarah  Webster  declared  their  inten- 
tions of  marriage  on  8  of  3  mo.,  1759.  In  the  minutes  of  the 
same  meeting,  under  date  of  13  day  2  mo.,  1794,  it  is  stated 
that  William  Lundy  and  Samuel  Lundy  III.  requested  certifi- 
cates of  membership  to  the  Exeter  Meeting  at  Maiden  Creek, 
Berks  Co.,  Pa. ;  and  it  is  also  stated  under  date  of  30  day  5  mo., 
in  the  same  year,  that  Samuel  Lundy  II.  requested  a  certificate 
of  membership  to  the  Exeter  Meeting  for  himself  and  four 
minor  children.  The  records  of  the  Society  of  Friends  at 
Millville,  Pa.,  show  that  a  certificate  was  presented  to  that 
Meeting  on  10  day  7  mo.,  1794.  by  Samuel  Lundy  from  the 
records  of  the  Kingwood  Monthly  Meeting  held  at  Hardwick, 
Sussex  Co.,  N.  J.,  recommending  the  aforesaid  Samuel  Lundy 
with  his  four  children,  John,  Ebenezer,  Sarah,  and  Eleazer. 
The  records  of  the  Exeter  Meeting  make  mention  twice  of  a 
William  Lundy,  it  is  stated  that  William  Lundy  came  in  1795 
from  Kingwood,  Hunterdon  Co.,  N.  J. ;  and  it  is  also  stated, 
under  date  of  22  day  5  mo.,  1798,  that  a  report  was  received 
from  the  Muncy  Preparative  Meeting  that  William  Lundy  had 
accomplished  his  marriage  with  one  not  a  member. 

Turning  again  to  the  Kingwood  minutes,  we  find  that  a 
Richard  Lundy  declared  his  intention  of  marriage  on  8  day  11 
mo..  1787:  and  that  on  12  day  11  mo.,  1795,  Richard  Lundy 
requested  a  certificate  of  membership  for  himself  and  family 
to  the  Exeter  Meeting. 

The  statements  above  are  gleaned  from  original  sources  and 
are  indisputable  as  to  the  several  particular  facts;  the  state-

uals of  the  same  name,  he  was  frequently  spoken  of  as  Muncy

BATTLE  OF  LUNDY  S  LANE.  75 

TJic  Canadian  Post  of  Lindsay,  Ontario,  published  the  fol- 
lowing olntuary  in  its  issue  of  February  14,  1896 : 

Nl\gara  Falls,  February  9. 
The  Niagara  district  has  lost  one  of  its  best  known  and 
highly  respected  citizens  in  the  death  of  Mr.  Lantry  Shannon 
Lundy  of  Lundy's  Lane,  yesterday  morning.  He  was  the  last 
surviving  member  of  the  family  of  Thomas  Lundy,  a  son  of 
William  Lundy,  the  United  Empire  Loyalist,  after  whom  the 
historic  lane  was  named.  The  late  Mr.  Lundy  was  born  and 
spent  most  of  his  life  in  the  house  in  w'hich  he  died  and  which 
was  used  as  a  hospital  during  the  Battle  of  Lundy's  Lane  and 
as  officers'  quarters  during  1814,  his  father's  house  having  been 
burned  by  guerrillas  in  1813.  The  original  plot  of  the  home- 
stead was  granted  by  King  George  IIL  January  6,  1796,  thus 
having  been  in  the  unbroken  possession  of  the  family  for  more 
than  a  hundred  years ;  and  the  clock  whose  ticking  marked  his 
birth  marked  also  his  release  from  the  weary  hours  of  his  suf- 
fering during  which  he  was  sustained  by  an  unwavering  Chris- 
tian faith.  He  was  also  of  Revolutionary  stock,  his  maternal 
grandfather  having  been  Col.  Shannon,  a  British  officer,  whose 
command  was  the  last  to  surrender  to  American  arms.  He  had 
entered  upon  his  77th  year,  having  been  born  January,  1820. 
He  had  been  a  life-long  Liberal,  a  justice  of  the  peace  for 
thirty-  three  years  and  had  held  many  other  public  positions  of 
trust.  He  was  esteemed  by  all  for  his  uprightness  of  character 
and  kindness  of  heart ;  and  revered  by  those  admitted  to  his 
friendship  and  home-circle.  He  leaves  a  sorrowing  widow  and 
a  large  grown-up  family  by  wdiom  he  was  dearly  loved  and  by 
whom  his  memory  will  be  held  as  their  best  possession.  The 
funeral  will  take  place  from  his  late  residence  on  Wednesday 
afternoon,  February  12,  at  2  o'clock,  interment  taking  place  at 
Drummond  Hill  Cemetery. 


battle  op  lundy  s  lane. 


During  the  summer  of  18 14,  the  Americans  formed  a  plan 
to  capture  and  occupy  the  Niagara  peninsula  which  includes 
the  territory  bounded  by  Lake  Ontario,  the  Niagara  River  and 
the  eastern  end  of  Lake  Erie.  An  army  was  assembled  at 
Bufifalo  under  Gen.  Jacob  Brown.      On    July  3,  1814,  Brown 


76  BATTLE  OF  LUNDY's  LANE. 

suddenly  invaded  Canada  and  compelled  the  surrender  of  Fort 
Erie  before  Sir  Phineas  Riall,  the  British  commander,  could 
come  to  its  relief.  During  the  military  operations  which  fol- 
lowed, three  spirited  battles  were  fought  on  the  Canadian  side 
of  the  Niagara  River;  namely,  the  battle  of  Chippewa,  the 
battle  of  Lundy's  Lane,  and  the  siege  of  Fort  Erie.  Each  of 
these  battles  was  an  American  victory ;  but,  curious  to  relate, 
the  final  outcome  of  the  whole  campaign  was  a  complete  failure 
for  the  Americans. 

The  British  were  entrenched  along  the  Chippewa  River ;  the 
Americans  took  a  position  behind  Street's  Creek ;  between 
which  two  streams  there  stretched  a  large  open  meadow.  On 
July  5th,  there  was  constant  picket-firing  and  skirmishing 
between  the  armies  thus  facing  each  other;  at  four  o'clock  in 
the  afternoon  of  that  day,  Riall  marched  out  on  the  plain  with 
his  whole  army  drawn  up  in  order  of  battle,  attacking  the 
brigade  of  volunteers,  quickly  put  them  to  flight ;  but  Winfield 
Scott  brought  his  regulars  into  action  and  compelled  the  British 
to  retire  to  their  encampment.  The  loss  on  each  side  was  about 
300  men.    This  is  known  as  the  battle  of  Chippewa. 

Riall  retreated  to  Lake  Ontario.  Brown,  anxious  to  lead  his 
army  along  the  lake  shore  and  capture  Toronto  and  Kingston, 
made  his  headquarters  at  Queenston  and  remained  there  three 
weeks  waiting  in  vain  for  supplies  and  re-inforcements ;  then, 
disappointed,  he  fell  back  to  the  Chippewa  River.  Riall,  who 
had  been  re-in forced  by  troops  brought  from  Toronto  by  Gen. 
Drummond,  again  advanced  southward  toward  the  American 
position,  concealing  his  movements  very  carefully.  Brown 
began  to  fear  that  there  might  be  some  truth  in  the  rumor  that 
the  British  were  preparing  to  invade  New  York  State ;  and  he 
therefore  sent  Scott  with  a  strong  force  to  reconnoiter  and  find 
out  where  the  British  army  was. 

This  led  to  the  famous  battle  which  was  fought  in  Canada 
near  Niagara  Falls  on  July  25,  1814,  and  which  by  mere  acci- 
dent has  made  the  name  of  Lundy  a  familiar  word  in  every 
English-speaking  community  throughout  North  America. 
Scott  advanced  northward  along  the  Niagara  River.  Riall  on 
the  alert,  quickly  learned  of  Scott's  advance  and  prepared  to 
check  it.  He  selected  his  position  with  great  skill ;  he  did  not 
place  himself  directly  in  front  of  the  Americans,  but  stationed 
his  army  a  short  distance  to  the  west  of  the  road,  on  elevated 


BATTLE  OF  LUNDY  S  LANE,  77 

ground,  whence  he  would  be  able  to  pour  down  a  destructive 
fire  into  the  ranks  of  the  Americans  if  they  should  be  rash 
enough  to  continue  their  forward  movement  along  the  main 
road.  On  this  eminence,  the  key  of  the  position,  Riall  planted 
a  battery  of  nine  cannon,  drew  up  his  army  round  about  it,  and 
waited.  Scott  realized  the  situation  at  once ;  it  would  be  folly 
to  advance  along  the  main  road ;  either  he  must  return  to  camp, 
or  he  must  drive  the  British  from  that  hilltop.  He  tried  to 
carry  the  hill  by  storm,  but  was  repulsed  with  severe  loss ;  this 
was  about  six  o'clock  in  the  afternoon.  Major  Jesup  was  sent 
to  steal  around  to  the  rear  of  the  British  and  he  was  so  far  suc- 
cessful as  to  capture  some  prisoners,  including  Riall  himself. 
Brown  arrived  on  the  field  with  the  main  army  just  at  dark; 
and  a  new  plan  was  immediately  arranged  with  the  view  to 
force  the  enemy  to  abandon  his  position. 

.  Troops  were  selected  for  a  storming  column,  and  to  them  was 
assigned  the  duty  of  carrying  the  battery  by  a  charge  directly 
up  the  hill.  An  officer  was  wanted  to  head  the  line.  The  com- 
mander-in-chief summoned  Major  James  Miller  to  his  side  and 
said,  "Can  you  capture  that  battery?"  Miller  looked  at  the  hill 
already  sprinkled  with  the  bodies  of  dead  comrades  and  replied, 
"I'll  try,  sir."  Fallling  in  line,  they  dashed  straight  up  the  hill 
in  the  face  of  the  battery  and  captured  it  and  held  it,  displaying 
a  courage  and  gallantry  that  has  never  been  surpassed  in  the 
annals  of  American  warfare. 

The  greater  part  of  the  American  army  was  at  once  massed 
together  on  the  hill.  Three  vigorous  and  determined  attempts 
were  made  by  the  British  to  regain  the  battery,  but  without  suc- 
cess ;  and  finally  about  midnight  they  retired  from  the  contest. 
The  Americans  remained  on  the  battle  field  a  very  brief  time, 
and  then  in  the  darkness  they,  too,  withdrew,  so  exhausted 
with  the  struggle  that  they  were  unable  to  take  with  them  the 
cannon  which  they  had  captured  and  retained  at  such  a  fearful 
cost.  The  British  re-occupied  the  blood-drenched  hill  and  took 
possession  of  their  lost  cannon,  unmolested.  Each  side  had  lost 
about  850  men,  an  exceptionally  heavy  loss  in  proportion  to  the 
number  of  men  engaged.  The  opposing  commanders  were 
taken  to  Bufifalo,  Brown  having  been  severely  wounded  and 
Riall  as  a  prisoner ;  Scott  also  was  wounded  nigh  unto  death. 
Technically  the  victory  rested  with  the  Americans,  for  at  the 
close  of  the  fight  they  were  the  masters  of  the  field ;  but  prac-

tically  all  the  fruits  of  victory  were  secured  by  the  British,  for 
the  resistance  which  they  made  was  so  courageous  and  so  stub- 
born that  the  whole  scheme  of  invasion  had  to  be  abandoned. 

This  sharp  and  bloody  conflict  is  known  in  history  as  the 
battle  of  Lundy's  Lane,  for  the  land  thereabout  was  owned  by  a 
Quaker  farmer  named  William  Lundy,  and  the  lane  which  led 
to  his  dwelling  house  branched  otT  at  right  angles  from  the 
main  road  and  passed  westward  directly  over  the  top  of  the  hill 
on  which  the  battle  was  fought. 

The  Americans  retreated  in  great  haste  to  Fort  Erie,  where 
they  were  soon  hemmed  in  by  the  British.  General  Drummond 
planned  a  surprise ;  he  led  his  army  forward  at  midnight  in 
three  columns  silently;  but  the  Americans  were  under  arms 
waiting  for  him.  Assault  after  assault  was  made  by  the  British 
soldiers  with  matchless  courage  and  persistency,  even  gaining 
one  of  the  bastions  and  holding  it  until  daybreak.  Although 
compelled  at  length  to  desist  from  the  attack,  they  continued  to 
press  the  siege  with  energy  for  several  weeks  until  the  Ameri- 
cans made  a  sudden  sally  out  of  the  fort  and  destroyed  their 
batteries.  This  sortie  was  the  last  battle  of  the  campaign.  The 
contending  armies  then  separated;  General  Drummond  relin- 
quished his  attempt  to  capture  the  place  and  led  his  troops  back 
to  Chippewa;  the  Americans  abandoned  the  fort  and  returned 
to  New  York  State.    Thus  ended  the  invasion  of  Canada.

REV.   WILLIAM   LUNDY  OF  VIRGINIA. 
1823- 1900. 

William  Lundy  was  the  son  of  Samuel  P.  Lundy  and  Sarah 
Davis,  and  a  grandson  of  Richard  Lundy  IV.  and  Mary  Stock- 
ton. He  was  born  in  1823  near  Fisher's  Peak,  Carroll  county, 
Virginia ;  and  it  was  amid  the  romantic  scenery  of  that  weird 
region  that  he  received  his  first  impressions  of  human  life  and 
what  it  means.  He  became  a  dextrous  hunter  and  an  expert 
shot  with  the  rifle;  in  middle  life  he  could  shoot  offhand  and 
hit  a  squirrel's  head  in  the  top  of  a  tall  tree.  Many  a  deer  run- 
ning at  full  speed  has  gone  down  at  the  crack  of  his  gun ;  once 
in  a  deer  chase  in  his  early  life,  he  was  accidentally  shot  and 
dangerously  wounded  by  one  of  his  companions.  Without  the 
aid  of  schools  he  acquired  a  good  rudimentary  education  and 
taught  school  for  several  years.  In  the  olden  times  when  read- 
ing, writing  and  cyphering  were  the  only  branches  taught  in 
the  common  schools,  Mr.  Lundy  was  one  of  the  teachers  that 
could  cypher  through  the  rule  of  three  and  extract  the  cube 
root,  in  Pike's  old  arithmetic.  In  1841  he  married  Lucy  Payne, 
who  lived  and  cheered  his  life  for  the  next  forty-nine  years. 

William  joined  the  Primitive  Baptist  Church  at  Crooked 
Creek  on  the  i6th  day  of  August,  1854,  and  on  the  next  day  was 
baptized  in  the  clear  and  limpid  waters  of  that  wandering 
stream.  He  came  up  out  of  the  water  a  preacher  and  preached 
his  first  sermon  on  the  day  of  his  baptism  and  was  thenceforth 
to  the  day  of  his  death  an  earnest,  faithful  and  zealous  preacher. 


g6  REV.    WILLIAM    LUNDY. 

When  \^irginia  in  1861  called  for  volunteers  to  repel  the  inva- 
sion of  her  territory  by  the  Federal  Government,  Mr.  Lundy 
volunteered  and  was  made  captain  of  Co.  E  in  the  45th  regi- 
ment of  Virginia  Infantry.  Capt.  Lundy  participated  in  all  the 
battles  fought  in  western  \'irginia  during  the  campaigns  of 
1861-62;  and  under  many  a  shower  of  leaden  fire  proved  him- 
self to  be  a  brave  officer  and  gallant  soldier.  He  was  always 
kind  and  considerate  toward  his  men  and  obedient  to  his  super- 
iors in  office.  He  never  disobeyed  but  one  order,  and  that  was 
an  order  from  his  colonel  to  burn  some  wheat  and  other  grain. 
He  positively  refused  to  obey  this  order,  saying  that  he  would 
not  burn  grain  when  so  many  women  and  children  were  suffer- 
ing for  it.  During  the  battle  at  Laurel  Creek,  West  Virginia, 
Capt.  Lundy  stood  where  he  was  fully  exposed  to  the  enemy's 
fire ;  and  his  tall  and  commanding  form  made  him  a  target  for 
their  bullets.  When  urged  to  get  behind  a  tree,  he  said,  "Every 
shot  they  fire  at  me  will  miss  my  men."  It  is  needless  to  say 
that  wherever  Capt.  Lundy  led  the  way.  his  men  would  follow 
him. 

Retiring  from  military  service,  he  took  up  again  more  vigor- 
ously the  sword  of  the  spirit  and  preached  the  gospel  to  human 
creatures.  As  a  parent,  Mr.  Lundy  was  all  that  a  strong  loving 
father  could  be ;  as  a  neighbor  and  friend,  he  was  always  ready 
with  heart  and  hand  to  do  his  whole  duty  and  more  too.  As  a 
public  speaker,  his  language  was  remarkably  direct  and-  vigor- 
ous;  when  his  mind  was  made  up  on  any  subject,  he  was  sure 
to  blurt  it  out  in  language  that  never  betrayed  his  meaning.  In 
talking  with  young  people  Mr.  Lundy  used  to  say :  "When 
vou  were  children,  you  trampled  on  your  parents'  toes.  Xow 
you  are  grown,  you  trample  on  their  hearts.  Remember  that 
you  are  heavy  and  the  heart  is  a  tender  organ,  and  let  your  steps 
be  light  when  you  tread  there." 

He  preached  his  first  sermon  at  Crooked  Creek  Church  in 
1854:  he  preached  his  last  sermon  on  the  7th  day  of  January, 
1900,  at  Piney  Creek  Church  in  Alleghany  county,  N.  C.  from 
the  text :  "And  this  gospel  of  the  kingdom  shall  be  preached  in 
all  the  world  for  a  witness  unto  all  nations ;  and  then  shall  the 
end  come."  Between  the  dates  of  these  two  sermons  there  rolls 
a  period  of  more  than  forty-five  years,  during  which  he  traveled 
and  preached  through  seventeen  States  of  the  American  Union. 
Indeed,  his  tours  were   so  extensive   that   it   would  seem  that 


REV.    WILLIAM    LUNDY.  97 

there  can  be  but  few  Primitive  Baptists  in  the  Southern  States 
who  have  not  heard  him  preach.  In  his  long  and  extensive 
career  as  a  minister  of  the  gospel,  he  failed  to  fill  only  seven 
appointments,  six  of  these  failures  occurred  while  he  was  pros- 
trated with  sickness,  and  one  while  he  was  ice-bound.  He 
would  ford  rivers  and  streams  to  meet  his  appointments, 
although  those  who  were  acquainted  with  the  fords  would  beg 
him  not  to  undertake  it. 

He  was  ever  an  ardent  and  devoted  student  of  the  Scriptures  ; 
they  were  to  him  the  very  bread  of  life.  He  studied  and  inter- 
preted Scripture  by  Scripture  and  never  used  commentaries, 
articles  of  faith  or  theological  tenets  as  aids.  He  was  Calvin- 
istic  in  his  views,  although  he  knew  nothing  of  the  writings  of 
John  Calvin.  When  his  mind  was  fixed,  he  preached  his  doc- 
trines with  great  boldness  and  with  much  energy.  His  blows 
fell  on  sin  and  sinners  with  the  force  of  a  sledge  hammer.  When 
his  mind  was  not  clear,  he  would  say :  "I  will  leave  that  with 
the  Almighty."  His  views  were  the  honest  productions  of  his 
earnest  brain,  heart  and  conscience,  arrived  at  in  the  fear  of  God 
but  in  the  fear  of  God  alone. 

He  lived  and  died  with  an  unsubdued  aversion  to  ministers 
who  preached  for  stated  salaries.  In  his  early  career,  he  did  not 
own  a  horse  to  ride  to  his  appointments.  He  would  labor  hard 
in  the  fields  day  in  and  day  out  to  make  bread  for  the  wife  and 
children  he  loved,  but  when  the  day  came  for  him  to  preach,  he 
would  get  up  early  in  the  morning  and  often  walk  fifteen  to 
twenty  miles  to  reach  his  appointment.  On  these  preaching 
tours,  he  has  left  his  wife  too  sick  to  reach  up  and  clasp  his 
hand  as  he  bade  her  goodby,  and  his  little  children  have  often 
followed  him  past  the  door  and  begged  papa  to  come  back.  But 
he  said  he  felt  the  Master's  hand  upon  him  requiring  him  to 
preach  and  that  he  could  leave  his  wife  and  children  in  the  hands 
of  an  all-wise  God  to  whom  he  prayed  for  their  protection.  He 
never  allowed  himself  to  become  a  charge  on  his  church ;  he 
preached  to  thousands  upon  thousands,  but  he  never  took  up  a 
collection.  With  the  labor  of  his  own  hands,  he  supported  his 
family  and  himself ;  the  voice  that  called  him  to  preach  never 
suggested  pay. 

He  died  away  from  home  on  one  of  his  preaching  tours.  The 
friends  who  heard  Brother  Lundy's  last  sermon  say  that  he 
stood  up  straighter  in  the  pulpit  that  day  than  usual ;  that  his 

(7)

voice  seemed  clearer  than  usual,  and  that  he  was  blessed  that 
day  with  superior  gifts  in  the  way  of  delivery.  He  was  thrown 
from  his  buggy  as  he  went  away  from  the  church  and  much 
hurt ;  he  got  into  the  buggy  again  and  rode  on  to  the  house  of  a 
friend  where  he  had  started  to  go ;  and  on  arriving,  he  said  : 
"Do  not  let  my  children  know  I  am  hurt;  they  could  do  me  no 
good ;  and  I  do  not  think  it  will  kill  me."  When  he  seemed  to 
be  getting  better  from  his  injuries,  he  was  stricken  with  paraly- 
sis and  soon  died. 

His  mind  seemed  clear  to  the  last.  When  the  faithful  band 
of  church  meml^ers  and  friends  who  gathered  around  were 
speaking  in  whispers  lest  they  should  disturb  the  dying  man,  he 
aroused  up  and  said  :  "All  come  right  up  here  and  sing  me  one 
more  song."  Then  in  response  to  the  inquiry  "What  shall  we 
sing,  Brother  Lundy?"  he  said:  "Just  sing  glory,  glory,  that 
will  do."  They  sang  a  few  appropriate  stanzas,  to  which  he 
seemed  to  listen  with  great  delight.  When  the  song  was  fin- 
ished, he  turned  his  head  slightly  upon  his  pillow  and  said : 
"Now  I  must  cross  that  river,"  and  soon  sank  into  the  dream- 
less sleep  of  the  dead.  His  body  was  buried  in  the  graveyard 
at  Antioch,  North  Carolina;  and  notwithstanding  the  snows 
and  storms  of  January,  fully  one  thousand  people  gathered 
around  the  open  grave  to  witness  the  last  sad  rite. 

Thus  in  peace  and  confidence  ended  the  life  of  a  hardy  moun- 
taineer who  had  accepted  for  himself  the  gospel  of  Jesus  of 
Nazareth  and  had  preached  it  faithfully  unto  others,  a  typical 
instance  of  the  power  of  the  gospel  story  to  touch  and  mould 
minds  of  strength  and  energy  among  the  common  people.

SIXTH   BRANCH. 

JOHN  LUNDY  1.  AND  REBECCA  SILVERTHORN. 

OF  WAKREN  COUNTY,  N.   J.  ;    OF  GRAYSON  CO.,  VA. 

John  Liindy  I.  (of  Richard  III. )  was  born  19  of  9  mo.,  1751, 
in  Sussex  (now  Warren)  county,  N.  }.,  and  died  on  his  home- 
stead near  Oldtown,  Grayson  county,  Va.,  May  5,  183 1,  at  the 
age  of  eighty-two.  His  will  is  dated  April  30,  183 1.  Rebecca 
Silverthorn  was  born  about  1753,  and  died  December  24,  1839, 
at  the  age  of  eighty-two.  The  approximate  date  of  the  mar- 
riage of  John  and  Rebecca,  as  given  in  the  minutes  of  the 
Kingswood  Monthly  Meeting  of  the  Society  of  Friends,  is  1 1  of 
12  mo.,  1777.  Several  children  were  born  to  them  in  New 
Jersey;  on  the  10  of  2  mo.,  1785,  John  requested  from  the 
Kingwood  M.  M.  a  certificate  of  membership  addressed  to  the 
Deep  River  Monthly  Meeting  in  North  Carolina. 

John  settled  in  Grayson  county,  Virginia,  and  secured  from 
the  land-ofifice  at  Richmond  a  treasury-warrant  for  one  hundred 
acres  of  land.  The  warrant  was  No.  7,339,  and  was  dated 
August  15,  1787.  He  selected  his  land  at  once  and  built  a  cabin, 
and  began  to  clear  away  the  timber  so  as  to  have  fields  for  crops, 
but  he  did  not  have  his  land  surveyed  until  July  6,  1798 ;  and  ten 
years  more  elapsed  before  he  completed  his  title  by  obtaining 
the  final  legal  document  called  a  patent.  The  patent  is  dated 
1808,  and  is  signed  by  William  H.  Cabell,  Governor  of  Virginia. 
John  seemed  to  have  taken  his  time  to  it ;  and  it  strikes  us 
moderns  as  being  an  exceedingly  leisurely  way  of  acquiring  title 
to  real  estate ;  but  the  original  warrant  fortified  by  actual  pos- 
session was  doubtless  all  that  the  law  required,  a  survey  not 
being  necessary  until  neighbors  began  to  crowd  in  around  him, 
and  a  patent  not  being  necessary  until  a  transfer  of  title  to  other 
parties  was  thought  of. 

Fisher's  Peak  is  a  high  knob  on  the  Blue  Ridge,  part  of  it 
being  in  Virginia  and  part  of  it  in  North  Carolina.  A  man 
named  Fisher  was  the  first  to  trim  out  a  way  across  that  part 
of  the  mountain  range,  and  so  the  notch  through  which  he  made 
the  path  was  named  after  him  and  called  Fisher's  Gap.  This 
same  man  was  one  of  the  survevors  that  laid  out  the  State  line ; 


lOO  RICHARD  LUXDY  ITT. 

and  while  ovcrlieatcd  he  drank  too  much  cohl  water  from  a 
sprinj^  whicli  flows  out  of  a  rock  near  the  top  of  the  hill,  and  at 
this  spring  he  died ;  and  that  is  the  reason  why  the  summit  goes 
by  his  name  and  is  called  Fisher's  Peak. 

Richard  Lundy  settled  within  two  miles  of  Fisher's  Peak ;  his 
farm  is  now  owned  by  Barnett  Paine. 

Azariah  also  settled  along  the  side  of  the  I>lue  Ridge ;  his 
farm  is  now  owned  by  Floyd  Brannock.  The  old  house  went 
to  ruin  long,  long  ago,  and  its  location  is  now  indicated  only  by 
some  old  pieces  of  logs  and  some  foundation  stones.  When 
Carroll  county  was  organized  and  set  ofif  from  Grayson, 
Azariah's  place  fell  within  the  new  county. 

The  road  leading  from  Fisher's  Gap  to  Oldtown  divides  and 
sends  ofif  a  branch  or  spur  wdiich  leads  to  the  Little  Old  Iron 
W' orks.  Here  in  the  fork  made  by  the  main  road  and  the  spur 
John  and  Amos  Lundy  settled  on  adjoining  farms.  John  built 
his  cabin  on  a  hill ;  this  made  it  unhandy  to  get  water,  every 
drop  of  wdiich  had  to  be  carried  uphill  from  the  spring,  which 
was  two  hundred  yards  away.  These  old  homesteads  are  two 
miles  from  the  present  post  office  of  Meadow  Creek,  four  miles 
from  Oldtown,  and  six  from  Fisher's  Gap.  The  land  taken  up 
by  Amos  is  now  owned  by  Greggs  Kampton ;  but  John's  home- 
stead is  still  in  the  Lundy  name,  being  now  occupied  by  his 
great-great-grandsons,  Churchwell  O.  and  Emmet  W.  Lundy. 

The  only  means  those  pioneers  had  to  carry  things  was  on 
their  backs  or  on  horses :  and  it  was  the  hardest  kind  of  work 
to  carry  things  even  that  way  :  for  the  roads  were  narrow, 
rough,  and  steep,  going  straight  up  one  ridge,  over  the  hill-top. 
and  straight  down  the  other  side,  keeping  in  quite  straight  lines, 
much  more  so  than  now,  when  many  of  the  roads  have  been 
changed  and  graded  around  the  hills.  Some  of  the  old  trails 
may  be  seen  even  at  this  day.  leading  up  over  hills,  which  have 
not  been  cleared. 

Some  of  the  early  settlers  had  a  hard  time  to  get  started. 
With  only  a  few  fields  cleared,  when  their  crops  failed  or  were 
destroyed,  they  would  run  short  of  things  to  eat..  In  these 
times  of  want,  they  would  follow  close  after  the  cows  as  they 
roamed  through  the  woods,  and  whatever  the  cows  would  eat, 
they  would  gather  for  pottage,  seeking  thus  to  make  their  little 
stock  of  provisions  last  longer  and  to  add  variety  to  their 
monotonous  bill  of  fare. 


ANN   WILLSON,  lOI 

Wolves  were  a  great  scourge.  They  would  howl  so  nights 
that  no  one  could  sleep.  Shooting  at  them  as  they  skulked  in  the 
shadows  did  not  stop  their  throats  except  for  a  little  while ;  for 
they  would  soon  start  at  it  again.  The  best  way  to  keep  them 
quiet  was  to  build  a  large  bonfire  of  brush  and  logs  in  the  yard 
or  garden  or  field  near  the  house.  Wolves  are  cowards  and  love 
a  thicket ;  and  for  this  reason  children  when  playing  around  the 
doorsteps  were  much  safer  when  the  house  stood  on  high 
ground.  The  undergrowth  was  much  thicker  on  the  lowlands ; 
and  the  wolves  were  much  more  likely  to  attack  a  person  down 
there ;  for  they  could  skulk  through  the  dense  brush  and  get 
close  to  him  without  exposing  themselves  to  view,  especially  late 
or  at  night.  And  for  this  reason  too,  a  wide  space  was  kept 
cleared  around  the  spring.  The  pigs  and  calves  had  to  be  put 
into  strong  pens  every  night.  It  was  an  incessant  care  to  the 
settler  to  guard  the  two  or  three  sheep  which  he  had  secured 
from  a  distance  at  much  cost  and  trouble  to  have  wool  to  spin. 
Wolves  would  prowl  around  and  at  nightfall  would,  sometimes 
become  so  bold  as  to  make  in  pack  fierce  attacks  on  the  sheep 
pen.  Of  course,  they  could  not  break  into  the  pen,  but  they 
would  cause  the  sheep  to  injure  themselves  through  fright;  so 
that  through  fear  of  this  result  the  farmer  would  be  compelled 
to  bring  his  sheep  into  the  house  during  the  night,  putting  them 
into  a  large  box  by  the  chimney  corner.  These  ferocious  "var- 
mints" are  now  very  scarce ;  but  every  three  or  four  years  a 
small  pack  passes  through. 

I  have  said  that  John  Lundy  perched  his  cabin  high  up  on 
the  hillside ;  all  the  other  pioneers  did  the  same.  This  look.s 
somewhat  foolish  at  this  distance  of  time ;  jbut  they  were  wise 
in  their  day  and  generation.  Death  lurked  along  the  water- 
courses. The  meadows  were  undrained  and  leaves  and  other 
litter  clogged  up  the  streams.  Fever  and  ague  has  ever  been 
the  dread  of  those  who  clear  away  the  forests  and  break  up  the 
virgin  soil ;  and  bitter  experience  everywhere  taught  the  first 
settlers  to  look  upon  the  damp  air  of  the  lowlands  as  a  slow 
poison.  Of  course,  they  did  not  build  their  houses  on  the 
highest  knobs  which  are  mountainous  and  almost  destitute  of 
water,  but  on  ridges  of  land  somewhat  elevated. 

John  and  Rebecca  Lundy  had  two  sons  and  six  daughters. 
Aaron,  the  older  son,  married  and  settled  on  a  farm  half-way 
between  his  father's  and  Oldtown ;    Amos,  the  younger  son, 


102  RICHAKI)   l.UNUV   111. 

married  and  finally  obtained  the  lioniestead ;  Rachel,  the 
youngest  child,  remained  at  home  and  took  care  of  her  father 
John  in  his  old  age.  Rachel  herself  was  blessed  with  a  long 
life  and  a  good  memory,  and  she  enjoyed  telling  the  younger 
generation  about  her  father  and  mother  and  the  inconveniences 
and  hardships  which  they  had  endured  as  early  settlers.  She  is 
still  remembered  as  walking  around  the  dooryard  with  two 
canes ;  and  when  the  little  sons  of  her  nephews  and  nieces  came 
to  help  her  by  doing  small  jobs,  such  as  chopping  wood,  pulling 
weeds,  gathering  berries  and  apples,  and  carrying  water,  she 
would  sit  down  by  them  after  their  work  was  done  and  tell 
them  stories  about  the  by-gone  days,  and  would  further  show 
her  appreciation  of  their  kindness  by  giving  them  for  keep- 
sakes various  little  articles  that  had  once  )belonged  to  their  great 
grand  parents.  And  it  is  needless  to  say  that  these  relics,  the 
quaint  cup  and  saucer,  the  fancy  buckle,  the  spectacle  case,  the 
old-fashioned  buttons,  the  razor  hone,  and  such  like  things,  are 
now  prized  even  more  highly  as  the  years  go  by.

GROUP  THREE 

THE  DESCENDANTS  OF 

Joseph  Lundy 

Of  Wakrhx  County,  New  Jersey, 
Born  in  1719;  Died  in  1759. 


1.  Sylvester  Lundy,  of  Axminster,  England. 

2.  Richard  Lundy  1.  and  Jane  Lyon,  of  Bucks  Co.,  Pa. 

3.  Richard  Lundy  ILand  Elizabeth  Large,  of  Warren  Co.,  N.J. 

4.  Joseph  Lundy  and  Susanna  Hutton,  of  Warren  Co.,  N.  J. 


The  line  then  divides  into  three  branches  : 


L  Sarah  Lundy  and  Joseph  Carpenter. 
IT  Enos  Lundy,  Sr..  and  Rachel  Carpenter. 
III.   Hannah  Lundv  and  Samuel  Shotwell. 


Joseph  Lundy,  whose  name  stands  at  the  beginning  of  this 
Group,  was  the  son  of  Richard  Lundy  H.  and  Elizabeth  Large. 
Joseph  was  born  in  Bucks  county.  Pa.,  24  of  4  mo.,  17 19. 
The  first  occurrence  of  his  name  is  found  on  the  minutes  of  the 
Exeter  .Monthly  .Meeting  at  Maiden  Creek  in  Berks  county, 
Ra. ;  in  which  minutes  it  is  stated  that  on  31  day  of  I  mo., 
1743,  Joseph  Lundy  and  Susanna  Hutton  were  left  at  liberty  to 
marry. 

Joseph  and  his  wife  Susanna  requested  on  30  day  3  mo., 
1745,  from  the  Exeter  Meeting  a  certificate  of  membership 
addressed  to  the  Bethlehem  (afterward  Kingwood.  now 
Quakertown)    Monthly  Meeting  in  Hunterdon  county,  N.  J.. 


SUSANNA   HUTTON.  147 

which  certificate  they  presented  at  Bethlelieni  of  the  8  day  of 
5  mo.  following. 

Joseph  was  a  witness  to  the  will  of  his  hrother  Richard  III. 
in  1756. 

On  the  14  day  of  g  mo.,  1758,  a  certain  Joseph  Lundy 
declared  his  intention  to  marry  Sarah  Willson  of  Hardwick 
township.  In  1759.  letters  of  administration  were  granted  on 
the  estate  of  a  Joseph  Lundy ;  see  Liber  IX.,  page  392,  among 
Wills,  at  Trenton,  N.  J.  Since  no  descriptive  term  such  as 
senior  or  junior  is  applied  to  either  of  the  two  Josephs  last  men- 
tioned, it  seems  natural  to  regard  them  as  identical  with  Joseph 
the  husband  of  Susanna  Hutton. 

It  is  not  known  how  many  children  Joseph  and  Susanna  had ; 
definite  information  has  been  obtained  in  regard  to  only  one  of 
them,  their  son  Enos.  Tradition  has  handed  down  the  name 
of  a  daughter  Sarah ;  this  Sarah  may  have  been  the  Sarah 
Lundy  who  with  Joseph  Carpenter  made  their  first  declaration 
of  intention  of  marriage,  before  the  Kingwood  Monthly  Meet- 
ing on  8  day  of  9  mo.,  1768. 

Among  the  witnesses  to  the  marriage  of  Jesse  Dennis  and 
Ann  Schooley  on  18  of  10  mo..  1781,  at  Newton.  N.  J.,  were 
Nancy  Lundy  and  Hannah  Lundy ;  and  among  the  witnesses 
to  the  marriage  of  George  Lundy  and  Esther  Willson  at  the 
Hardwick  Meeting-house  on  15  of  3  mo.,  1780,  was  Catharine 
Lundy.  The  parentage  and  relationship  of  Nancy,  Hannah, 
and  Catharine  have  not  been  ascertained.  There  is  no  further 
record  concerning  Nancy  and  Catharine;  Hannah  in  1788  mar- 
mied  Samuel  Shotwell  and  settled  in  Sussex  county,  N.  J.  I 
venture  to  classify  Nancy.  Hannah  and  Catharine,  provision- 
ally, as  the  children  of  Joseph  Lundy. 

THE  CHILDREN  OF 
JOSEPH    LUNDY   AND   SUSANNA   HUTTON. 

I.  William,    of    Newton    township,    Sussex    county,    N.    J.,

148  JOSEPH    LUNDY. 

V.  Nancy,  possibly ;  no  further  record. 
VI.  Catherine,  possibly ;  no  further  record. 

William  Lundy,  on  April  13,  1769,  obtained  from  the  civil 
g-overnment  a  license  to  marry  Mary  Webster ;  the  bond  given 
at  that  time  by  him  in  order  to  obtain  the  license  is  recorded  at 
Trenton,  N.  J.,  in  volume  L,  Licenses  of  Marriage,  years  1764- 
1794.  Asa  Schooley  was  William's  bondm.an ;  and  all  th,_ 
persons  are  described  as  of  Newton,  Sussex  county,  N.  J.  No 
further  record. 

It  may  be  of  interest  to  insert  here  a  copy  of  the  marriage 
license  anciently  required  by  law  in  the  province  of  New  Jersey. 

Know  all  men  by  these  Presents  that  we  William  Lundy  and 
Asa  Schooley,  both  of  Newtown  in  the  County  of  Sussex  &

after appear  that  they  the  said  William  Lundy  and  Mary  Web- 
ster have  any  lawful  Let  or  Impediment  of  Precontract, 
Affinity,  or  Consanguinity,  to  hinder  their  being  joined  in  the

On  January  5,  1768,  Jacob's  father,  Richard  Lundy  H.,  being 
at  that  time  in  his  seventy-sixth  year,  deeded  to  Jacob  one  of 
the  homestead  farms  in  Warren  county ;  the  consideration  of 
this  transfer  of  real  estate  is  stated  in  the  words  of  the  deed 
itself  to  have  been  "the  love  and  natural  afifection  which  he  hath 
and  beareth  to  his  son  Jacob  Lundy." 

At  a  council  held  at  Perth  Amboy,  N.  J.,  September  17,  1772, 
Jacob  was  nominated  by  Governor  William  Franklin  to  be 
made  a  justice  of  the  peace  for  the  County  of  Sussex ;  which 
was  assented  to  by  the  Council.  For  three  years.  1773-5.  he 
was  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Justices  and  Freeholders  of  Sus- 
sex county.  In  an  old  account  book  that  belonged  to  the 
"Union  Iron  Works"  in  Hunterdon  county.  N.  J.,  there  is  an 
entry  under  date  of  December  3.  1773.  which  reads  "Bo't  2  fat 
cattle  of  Jacob  Lunday  of  Sussex  Co,",  a  transaction  which 
illustrates  the  fact  that  one  source  of  income  to  the  farmers  of 
northern  New  Jersey  in  colonial  times  was  to  raise  and  fatten 
horned  cattle  and  then  drive  them  to  market.

eighty-three ;  both  were  buried  at  Hardwick. 

They  settled  on  the  great  meadows  in  Warren  county,  X.  J. 
They  had  ten  children,  all  born  "at  Hardwick  township,  County 
of  Sussex,  and  Province  of  Xew  Jersey."  Their  family  Bible

l68  JACOIt  LUNDY. 

Thstimumal  concerning  Jacol)  Lundy,  1751-1806,  an  Elder 
in  the  Society  of  Friends. 

Jhe  following  testimonial  is  recorded  in  Friends'  Miscellany, 
\'ol.  \1.,  1835,  pp.  141-3;  for  a  copy  of  it,  1  am  indebted  to 
Ainhrose  M.  Shotwell  in  his  Annals  uf  Our  Ctjlonial  Ancestors. 
■Jacob  Lundy  was  descended  of  sober,  jionest,  and  respect- 
able parents,  Jacob  and  Alary  Lundy,  of  the  Society  of  Friends, 
members  of  Hard  wick  monthly  meeting,  New  Jersey.  He  was 
a  dutiful  and  affectionate  son,  and  lived  with  his  parents  in 
much  harmony,  and  in  the  decline  of  life,  he  was  a  comfort  and 
staff'  for  them  to  lean  upon.  May  others  be  engaged  to  go  and 
do  likewise,  that  they  may  rca])  the  reward  of  an  approving 
conscience,  which  appeared  to  be  his  happy  experience.  Being 
for  some  time  in  poor  health,  he  told  his  physician  to  speak  his 
mind  plainly,  for  he  did  not  fear.  After  he  was  confined  to  his 
room,  he  remarked  to  those  present,  that  he  did  not  expect  to 
go  out  until  he  was  carried  out.  About  two  weeks  before  his 
decease,  he  desired  to  have  his  children  sent  for,  his  step- 
daughter being  one  of  them,  to  whom  he  had  extended  a 
parental  care,  and  to  whom  he  expressed  himself  tenderly,  say- 
ing, 'Dear  child,  I  am  glad  to  see  you  again' ;  and  repeated  it 
twice.  He  appeared  to  bear  his  bodily  suffering,  which  was 
great,  without  a  nuirnuir. — was  very  patient  and  quiet,  as 
though  his  day's  work  w  as  done,  except  bearing  the  pain  of  the 
mortal  body ;  yet  sometimes,  when  in  great  distress  through 
oppression,  he  would  say.  'what  can  be  done?  I  fear  I  am  not 
patient  enough.' 

"He  was  favored  thrcnighout  with  his  rational  faculties  with- 
out much  change;  and,  near  half  an  hour  before  he  departed, 
he  fell  into  a  quiet  sleep,  and  drew  his  breath  shorter  and 
shorter,  until  he  expired  without  a  sigh  or  groan,  or  the  least 
motion,  so  calm  and  easy  that  death  seemed  disarmed  of  his 
terrors.  At  this  solemn  period,  his  aged  mother,  standing  by, 
bore  this  testimony,  "Why  should  we  wish  his  stay,  seeing  his 
way  is  made  so  easy?' 

"He  was  an  example  of  piety  and  virtue ;  and  in  early  life, 
was  called  upon  to  fill  very  important  stations  in  the  Society. 
He  was  for  many  years  clerk  of  the  monthly  meeting.  In 
1772,  he  was  chosen  to  the  station  of  an  Elder;  the  duties  of 
which  he  was  careful  to  fulfill  with  dignity  and  uprightness,  to 
the  end  of  his  days.    In  the  year  1783  he  was  married  to  Sarah, 


MARY   WILLSON.  1 69 

the  widow  of  William  Hampton,  of  Railway  ;  she  being  a  min- 
ister to  whom  he  was  a  helpmate  in  her  christian  exercises ;  and 
and  when  she  was  concerned  to  travel  on  Truth's  account,  he 
endeavored  to  open  the  way  for  her  to  fulfill  the  work  she 
believed  herself  called  unto,  by  assisting  her  freely. 

"Jacob  Lundy  also  traveled  in  the  service  of  Truth,  on  his 
own  concern,  to  visit  Friends  in  their  meetings  for  discipline. 
In  the  second  month  of  the  year  1801,  he  was  furnished  with  a 
minute  of  the  unity  of  his  friends,  to  attend  a  few  meetings  for 
discipline,  in  the  remote  parts  of  Pennsylvania. — Again,  in 
1805,  the  monthly  meeting  set  him  at  liberty  to  attend  Red- 
stone Quarterly  and  the  monthly  meetings  composing  it,  stating 
in  his  certificate,  that  he  was  'an  elder  in  good  esteem.' 

"He  was  very  diligent  in  the  attendance  ot  all  our  religious 
meetings,  those  near  home  as  well  as  monthly,  Quarterly,  and 
Yearly  Meetings ;  encouraging  his  family  also  in  this  important 
duty.  He  was  a  careful  neighbor,  and  careful  over  his  own 
house  to  make  them  comfortable.  He  was  of  a  tender  spirit,  so 
that,  at  times,  when  reading,  or  hearing  others  read  the  Bible, 
he  has  appeared  to  be  afifected,  even  to  tears.  He  was  ever 
read}-  to  entertain  strangers,  particularly  those  who  were  travel- 
ing on  Truth's  account,  who  found  him  kind  and  hospitable,  to 
the  comforting,  as  well  as  refreshing  of  the  weary,  so  that  oit 
times,  the  visitors  and  the  visited  have  had  to  rejoice  together, 
feeding,  as  it  were,  at  the  banqueting  table  of  heavenly  love." 

Several  families  of  Indians  dwelt  in  Hardwick  township 
when  the  first  wdiite  settlers  came.  They  went  away  during  the 
French  and  Indian  war  and  sought  more  western  homes  along 
the  waters  of  the  Susquehanna  river ;  but  after  peace  was  made, 
some  of  the  native  Indians  returned  to  Xew  Jersey  every  year 
on  a  short  excursion  to  linger  in  their  old  haunts  and  revisit 
the  graves  of  their  forefathers;  and  incidentally  to  enjoy  an 
outing  and  sell  trinkets  and  willow-ware,  to  l^eg  for  old  clothes 
and  gather  in  small  coin  from  visitors  before  whom  they  w^ould 
exhibit  their  skill  in  the  use  of  the  bow  and  arrow.  They 
generally  encamped  in  the  wood  along  the  road  between  Hoey's 
and  Buckley's.  Elizabeth  Lundy,  born  1787,  afterward  Mrs. 
Abner  Willson,  used  to  relate  concerning  the  Indians  many 
incidents  that  occurred  in  her  childhood  days  when  she  and 
other  children  visited  the  encampment.

Born  in  1817;  Died  in  1890. 

P^ounder  of  the  Dennis  Library  at  Newton,  N.  J. 

It  is  the  chief  glory  of  our  country  that  it  sets  an  open  door 
before  young  men,  bidding  them  enter  if  they  be  worthy ;  and 
the  most  fascinating  pages  of  our  country's  history  are  those 
which  record  the  struggles,  the  courage  and  the  successes  of 
young  men  with  no  resources  but  their  own  in  reaching  high 
positions  among  their  fellows.  This  is  illustrated  in  the  career 
of  Alfred  Lewis  Dennis.  He  was  born  at  Newton,  Sussex 
county,  N.  J.,  on  4th  day  of  4th  month,  1817.  He  was  the  son 
of  Ezekiel  Dennis  and  Mary  Baldwin,  grandson  of  Jesse  Den- 
nis and  Ann  Schooley,  and  great  grandson  of  Benjamin 
Schooley  and  Martha  Lundy. 

He  received  his  early  education  in  a  small  classical  school 
established  by  the  Rev.  Clarkson  N.  Dunn,  rector  of  Christ 
Church.  At  the  age  of  thirteen  he  went  to  Newark,  N.  J.,  and 
found  employment  for  a  short  time  as  a  grocer's  clerk.  His 
worldly  goods  consisted  of  a  small  bundle  of  clothes  and  his 
mother's  blessing.  Mr.  William  Tuttle,  who  had  a  bookstore  at 
the  corner  of  Broad  and  Academy  streets  and  was  the  pro- 
prietor of  the  Sentinel  of  Freedom,  advertised  for  a  boy  to  learn 
the  bookbinding  business ;  the  same  evening  a  lad  of  diminutive 
stature  applied  for  the  place.  Mr.  Tuttle  looked  at  the  lad  and 
said,  'T  am  afraid  you  are  not  big  enough  to  handle  the  press- 
bar,"  referring  to  the  iron-bar  used  in  pressing  the  sheets  for 
binding.  The  boy  answered  with  words  that  at  once  won  him 
a  life-long  friend,  and  which  also  were  the  true  index  of  his 
character  and  the  key  to  his  future  success :  "I  am  large 
enough  to  try  it!"  He  at  once  became  an  apprentice  to  the 
business,  and  also  a  member  of  Mr.  Tuttle's  household ;  for  in 
those  days  the  master-mechanics  and  employers  of  Newark 
boarded  their  apprentices  in  their  own  families,  an  old-fash- 
ioned but  excellent  custom. 

Mr.  Tuttle  in  the  regular  performance  of  his  duty  as  a  direc- 
tor in  the  Newark  Banking  and  Insurance  Company  went  to 
New  York  City  every  Thursday  to  effect  the  exchanges  for  the 
bank  ;  and  this  Thursday  trip  took  all  day  and  sometimes  a  large 
part  of  the  night  if  the  slow  ferry-boat  were  delayed  by  wind

or  fug  or  ice.  This  day  of  bank  exchange  became  an  inipurlant 
circumstance  in  tlie  hie  01  llie  young  apprentice. 

i\o  sooner  liad  Alfred  been  phiced  in  the  bindery,  tlian  he 
began  "to  sliow  the  stuff  there  was  m  hiin' ;  not  merely  by 
proving  that  he  was  large  enough  to  handle  the  press-bar  and 
to  master  other  details  of  the  trade,  but  by  studying  the  nature 
of  the  business  itself,  especially  as  related  to  the  materials  used 
in  it.  In  this  way  he  studied  the  subject  of  binders'  leathers, 
ihc  process  and  cost  of  their  manufacture,  where  they  were 
chiehy  made,  and  even  the  laws  regulating  their  importation 
into  this  country. 

After  Mr.  Dennis  had  been  some  months  in  the  bindery,  he 
asked  Air.  Tuttle  to  be  allowed  to  act  as  clerk  in  the  bookstore 
at  night..  At  once  he  began  to  display  his  characteristic  trait 
of  getting  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  business.  He  soon 
knew  the  position  on  the  shelves  of  all  the  books,  and  their 
cost  and  price,  and  the  principles  on  which  the  bookselling 
business  was  conducted. 

Not  long  after  this  night  service  was  in  successful  operation, 
Mr.  Dennis  worked  live  days  a  week  as  an  apprentice  in  the 
l)indery,  but  served  as  clerk  in  the  bookstore  every  Thursday 
while  his  employer  went  to  New  York  for  the  bank.  So  skill- 
fully did  he  conduct  his  sales  and  so  well  did  he  conciliate  cus- 
tomers, that  the  sales  of  books  on  Thursday  were  perceptibly 
larger  than  those  on  other  days.  Of  course,  it  was  not  long 
before  he  became  the  trusted  clerk  whose  services  were  devoted 
entirely  to  the  bookstore.  All  this  while  the  young  man  was 
increasing  his  knowledge  both  of  bookmaking  and  bookselling, 
and  of  the  thoughts  and  contents  of  books.  As  the  day 
of  his  majority  was  drawing  nigh,  the  question  of  his  own 
future  was  one  that  caused  young  Dennis  no  little  anxiety.  He 
had  carefully  studied  bookselling  as  a  business,  and  especially 
bookselling  at  the  old  store,  corner  of  Broad  and  Academy. 

Xot  long  before  he  was  twenty-one  he  astonished  his 
employer  by  a  proposition  to  buy  out  his  business  as  a  book- 
seller, with  all  the  stock  in  hand.  He  admitted  he  had  no  capi- 
tal, but  was  sure  he  soon  would  have  some  if  he  could  have  a 
chance.  After  careful  consideration,  Mr.  Tuttle — a  man  noted 
for  his  caution — agreed  to  sell  out  his  store  to  Mr.  Dennis  on 
tc-rnis  satisfactory  to  both. 

At  once  a  great  change  was  efl'ected  in  the  stock  of  books  and 


ALFRED  LEWIS  DENNIS.  199 

in  the  business.  The  "dead-stock"'  of  the  upper  shelves  was 
sent  to  the  auction  rooms  to  be  sold  for  what  it  would  bring  in 
cash.  With  great  sagacity  he  also  devised  and  introduced  into 
his  business  a  method  at  that  time  unknown  in  any  salesroom  of 
Newark — the  taking  orders  for  merchandise  in  his  line  and 
filling  them  by  immediate  purchase  in  New  York.  Several 
times  a  week  he  went  to  the  city  and  each  night  he  would  be 
ready  to  furnish  his  customers  with  the  merchandise  ordered. 
Of  course,  he  made  quick  sales,  turned  his  capital  often,  and 
accunmlated  no  dead  stock.  Careful  of  his  credit  and  on  the 
alert  for  custom,  he  soon  greatly  enlarged  his  business.  Some- 
times he  seemed  rash  to  his  old  employer,  but  he  rarely  failed 
to  make  his  investments  profitable.  In  due  time  he  not  only 
paid  Mr.  Tuttle  for  his  books,  but  he  had  purchased  the  valu- 
able property  on  which  the  store  was  located.  This  last  pur- 
chase, however,  was  not  made  until  after  Mr.  Tuttle's  death. 

Mention  has  been  made  of  the  fact  that  when  in  the  bindery 
Mr.  Dennis  had  carefully  studied  the  history  of  binders' 
leathers.  Confident  that  his  venture  would  prove  profitable,  he 
quietly  invested  a  few  hundred  dollars  in  sheepskins  only 
partially  finished  in  England.  He  had  the  process  completed  in 
Connecticut,  and  then  among  the  first  to  whom  he  offered  his 
leathers  were  the  Harper  Brothers,  who  finding  his  wares  excel- 
lent and  his  prices  reasonable,  purchased  largely.  In  a  very 
short  time  he  had  disposed  of  his  stock  at  a  fair  profit  and  had 
ordered  a  larger  invoice  from  England.  This  was  the  begin- 
ning of  a  large  and  profitable  business  so  shrewdly  managed 
that  it  led  the  wealthy  firm  of  Abram  Bell  &  Co.,  of  New  York, 
in  1849,  to  offer  him  an  interest  in  their  business  and  to  give 
him  its  principal  control.  This  proved  to  be  one  of  large  profit. 
Meanwhile  Mr.  Dennis  continued  the  book  business  at 
Newark,  having  taken  his  brother,  Martin  R.  Dennis,  into 
partnership;  in  1861,  he  disposed  of  his  interest  to  his  partner 
and  retired  from  the  firm. 

Mr.  Dennis  proved  so  successful  in  the  investment  of  his  sur- 
plus capital  that  he  had  become  an  acknowledged  authority  in 
matters  of  finance,  and  about  1856  he  was  elected  a  director  of 
the  same  bank  of  which  Mr.  Tuttle  had  been  a  director;  he  also 
became  an  influential  director  of  the  Howard  Savings  Institu- 
tion of  Newark,  which  stands  among  the  best  managed  in  this 
country. 


200  ALFRED  LEWIS  DENNIS. 

Having  married  in  Connecticut,  he  was  led  to  examine  the 
condition  and  probable  outcome  of  the  Naugatuck  Railroad, 
and  he  finally  purchased  a  large  amount  of  stock  and  was 
elected  its  vice  president.  Xot  a  little  owing  to  his  tact  is  due 
the  fact  that  this  road  cleared  ulY  its  entire  bonded  debt  and 
regularly  paid  satisfactory  dividends. 

In  1861,  Mr.  John  P.  Jackson,  the  vice  president  of  the  New 
Jersey  Railroad  and  Transportation  Company,  died,  and  Mr. 
Dennis  was  elected  his  successor;  and  in  1864,  when  Gen.  John 
S.  Darcy,  the  president  of  that  railroad,  died,  Mr.  Dennis  was 
elected  his  successor — a  position  which  he  filled  with  great 
ability  until  the  road  was  leased  in  1872  to  the  Pennsylvania 
Railroad  Company. 

It  almost  bewilders  one  to  think  that  the  boy  so  slight  of 
stature  who  in  his  poverty  uttered  those  words  of  pluck,  "I  am 
large  enough  to  try  it,"  rose  finally  to  occupy  so  many  positions 
of  great  responsibility  in  the  business  world ;  the  vice  president 
of  the  Naugatuck  Railroad,  vice  president  of  the  United  Rail- 
roads of  New  Jersey,  the  fiscal  and  executive  agent  of  the 
Pennsylvania  Railroad  at  New  York,  and  president  of  the 
Jersey  Citv  Ferry  Company.  He  was  also  an  active  director  m 
the  Delaware,  Lackawanna  and  Western  Railroad,  and  in  con- 
nection with  such  men  as  Jay  Gould,  John  I.  Blair,  and  Samuel 
Sloan,  built  the  extension  of  that  road  from  Binghamton  to 
Buffalo.  While  this  enumeration  does  not  exhaust  the  list  of 
his  responsible  trusts,  it  is  sufficient  to  indicate  the  confidence 
placed  in  his  sagacity  and  executive  ability  as  a  business  man. 

While  Air.  Dennis  had  been  investing  his  fortune  so  advan- 
tageously in  these  great  corporations,  he  did  not  forget  the  city 
of  his  adoption,  but  freely  invested  in  buildings  in  Newark  and 
in  other  ways  helped  to  enlarge  the  city. 

Occasionally  as  a  railroad  executive  he  met  with  some  very 
marked  incidents.  Such  a  one  was  his  placing  a  palatial  train 
from  Jersey  City  to  Washington  at  the  service  of  the  Grand 
Duke  Alexis  of  Russia,  then  visiting  this  country.  It  was  a 
graceful  and  complimentary  act  in  honor  of  our  distinguished 
guest.  The  Grand  Duke  recognized  the  act  by  a  beautiful 
souvenir,  and  also  an  autograph  letter,  which  he  sent  to  Mr. 
Dennis. 

When  the  Civil  War  broke  out.  threats  were  freely  made  that 
if  the  New  Jersey  Railroad  took  troops  South,  the  torch  would

be  applied  to  the  bridges  over  the  Hackensack  and  the  Passaic. 
General  Darcy,  the  president  of  the  road,  and  Mr.  Dennis,  ont 
of  the  directors,  were  one  whole  night  looking  after  these 
bridges  and  directing  the  batteries  whose  guns  were  trained  to 
guard  every  foot  of  the  endangered  structures.  They  were  sur- 
rounded by  a  mob  of  desperate  men  bent  on  burning  the 
bridges.  General  Darcy  and  Mr.  Dennis,  in  the  carriage  of  the 
general,  were  driving  to  the  scene  of  danger  when  they  were 
beset  by  the  roughs  who  took  the  horse  from  the  carriage. 
General  Darcy  was  popular  with  the  men,  and  finally  induced 
them  to  hitch  the  horse  to  the  wagon  and  allow  them  to  drive 
on.  It  was  a  night  of  danger,  but  prudence,  courage  and  the 
well-loaded  cannon  brought  the  matter  to  a  safe  conclusion ;  so 
that  not  a  single  train  was  detained. 

In  1866  Mr.  Dennis.determined  to  aid  in  founding  a  public 
library  in  Newton,  Sussex  county,  N.  J.,  the  place  of  his  birth. 
Accordingly  he  pledged  the  sum  of  twenty-five  thousand  dollars 
on  certain  conditions.  Private  subscription  were  obtained  suf- 
ficient to  secure  his  gift. 

On  September  28,  1872,  the  building  was  dedicated,  and 
addresses  made  by  Col.  Robert  Hamilton,  Judge  Martin  Ryer- 
son,  and  other  distinguished  gentlemen  of  Sussex  county. 

"It  is  with  much  pleasure,"  said  Colonel  Hamilton  in  deliver- 
ing the  address  of  welcome,  "that  I  am  allowed  to  of^ciate  at 
the  presentation  of  this  beautiful  building,  with  its  ample 
dimensions  and  well-ordered  apartments.  For  it  we  are 
indebted  to  a  gentleman  who  is  with  us,  who,  though  a  native 
of  our  town,  has  gone  abroad  and  prospered,  and  who  in  his 
success  forgets  not  his  native  town  and  people.  I  feel  assured 
that  you  will  be  glad  with  me  to  express  to  him  our  grateful 
acknowledgments  for  his  generosity  in  the  following  resolution  : 

'Resolved,  that  we  tender  to  Alfred  L.  Dennis,  Esq.,  our  most 
heartfelt  thanks  for  his  munificent  endowment  of  twenty-five 
thousand  dollars  for  the  library  enterprise  in  Newton,  and  that 
we  present  to  him  our  best  wishes  for  his  continued  welfare.' 

The  building  is  45  feet  front  by  75  feet  deep,  three  stories  in 
height,  with  a  basement,  has  a  mansard  roof  and  ornamental 
tower,  and  is  constructed  of  pressed  brick  with  blue  limestone 
corners.  The  first  story  is  occupied  by  l)usiness  offices,  the 
second  storv  bv  the  library  and  reading  room;  and  the  third

Story,  extending  over  the  whole  area  of  the  building,  is  used 
as  a  public  lecture-room  and  known  as  Library  Hall. 

Mr.  Dennis  was  an  active  patron  of  many  worthy  objects  that 
came  before  him,  and  was  a  trustee,  with  William  E.  Dodge, 
S  B.  Chittenden,  William  A.  Booth,  and  others,  of  the  Syrian 
Protestant  College  at  Bey  rout.  Ottoman  Empire. 

The  foregoing  sketch  of  the  life  of  Alfred  Lewis  Dennis  is

Rev.  John  Patterson  Lundy,  D.D. 

Of  New  York  City ;  of  Philadelphia. 
1 823- 1 892. 

He  was  born  at  Danville,  Columbia  county.  Pa.,  on  February 
3,  1823;  he  was  a  son  of  John  and  Mercy  Lundy  and  a  grand- 
son of  Ephraim  and  Elizabeth  Lundy.  He  began  his  classical 
studies  at  the  Danville  Academy,  entered  Princeton  College 
and  graduated  in  1846.  Among  his  classmates  were  David  A. 
Depue  and  Bennet  Van  Sickel,  Judges  of  the  Supreme  Court 
of  New  Jersey.  He  entered  the  Princeton  Theological  Semi- 
nary and,  completing  his  course  there,  was  ordained  a  Presby- 
terian minister  on  February  13,  1849.  He  was  installed  as 
pastor  of  a  congregation  of  that  faith  at  Sing  Sing,  N.  Y.,  and 
was  there  two  years.  Having  joined  the  Protestant  Episcopal 
Church,  and  having  been  ordained  deacon  at  St.  Paul's  Church 
by  Bishop  Upfold  on  October  25,  1854,  he  served  for  a  year  as 
minister-in-charge  of  Briar  Cliff"  Chapel,  and  as  chaplain  of 
Sing  Sing  prison.  On  October  28,  1855,  he  was  ordained  a 
priest  by  Bishop  Alonzo  Potter  at  All  Saints',  Philadelphia, 
and  at  once  became  rector  of  that  Church.  In  1857,  he 
accepted  the  rectorship  of  Emanuel  Church  at  Holmesburg, 
Pa.,  where  he  remained  several  years.  During  this  period  he 
traveled  abroad  and  visited  Europe,  Egypt,  Palestine  and 
Syria.  His  next  rectorship  was  that  of  Christ  Church,  Read- 
ing, Pa.  In  1869  he  was  elected  rector  of  the  Church  of  the 
Holy  Apostles,  New  York  City,  where  he  remained  until  1875, 


246  JOHN  PATTERSON   LUNDY. 

wlien  lie  resigned  on  account  of  failing  health  and  was  com- 
pelled to  give  up  the  active  work  of  the  ministry.  Although 
endowed  by  nature  with  a  strong  physical  constitution,  he  had 
impaired  his  health  by  overwork.  After  his  resignation  he 
never  held  a  rectorship,  although  during  a  vacancy  at  St. 
.Mark's  and  at  St.  Stephen's  in  the  city  of  Philadelphia  he  was 
minister-in-charge  of  each  of  these  important  parishes  for 
about  a  year. 

Such  is  the  brief  record  of  his  professional  hfe,  but  it  does 
not  describe  his  work  as  an  author.  Many  of  the  articles 
written  by  Dr.  Lundy  were  printed  in  the  magazines  of  the 
day;  others  were  published  in  pamphlet  form  and  attained  a 
wide  circulation  owing  to  the  circumstances  under  whicli  they 
were  issued.  1  will  mention  two  of  these :  the  one  shows  his 
position  and  sympathies  on  the  questions  of  slavery  and  seces- 
sion, those  volcanoes  once  burning  but  now  happily  extinct ; 
the  other  relates  to  the  subject  of  forestry  and  was  published 
in  the  interest  of  the  Pennsylvania  Forestry  Association  of 
which  he  was  President. 

The  Rev.  John  Hopkins,  Bishop  of  Vermont,  wrote  a  pam- 
phlet on  the  "Bible  View  of  Slavery,"  maintaining  that  the 
relationship  of  master  and  slave  was  not  a  sin  per  se  and  con- 
demning the  ultra-abolitionism  of  the  day ;  this  he  sent  to  some 
gentlemen  in  Philadelphia,  and  it  was  printed  and  distributed 
in  the  fall  of  1863  by  a  political  committee  as  a  campaign  doc- 
ument. An  indignant  protest  was  at  once  drawn  up  and  signed 
by  the  clergy  of  Pennsylvania.  Dr.  Lundy  not  only  signed  the 
protest,  but  he  did  more ;  he  wrote  a  reply,  vigorous,  masterly, 
and  at  times  almost  virulent,  which  was  published  under  the 
title  of  a  "Review  of  Bishop  Hopkins'  Bible  \'iew  of  Slavery, 
by  a  Presbyter  of  the  Church  in  Philadelphia."  It  proved  to 
be  a  timely  and  efifective  article,  even  though  it  did  fail  to  con- 
vince the  good  Bishop. 

Dr.  Lundy  was  one  of  the  first  persons  in  the  Lnited  States 
to  call  attention  to  the  science  of  forestry  and  to  the  importance 
of  making  forest  culture  and  preservation  a  practical  study 
here  in  America.  He  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Pennsyl- 
vania Forestry  Association.  During  the  latter  part  of  his  life, 
he  labored  in  season  and  out  of  season  to  arouse  public  interest 
on  this  subject ;  for  his  own  views  had  been  intensified  by  what 
he  had  seen  in  other  countries  once  renowned  for  their  fertility, 


JOHN  PATTERSON  LtJNDY.  24^ 

but  now  Sterilized  by  the  destruction  of  their  forests.  In  1880, 
ne  prnited  for  his  friends  "A  Sl<etch  of  Adirondack  Life  " ;  and 
trom  this,  some  chapters  under  the  title  of  '"Forestry  at  Home 
and  Abroad"  were  taken  and  published  in  the  interest  of  the 
Jr'ennsylvania  forestry  Association. 

Dr.  Lundy  was  the  author  of  an  anonymous  romance  called 
■"ihe  Exiles  of  Laranai." 

But  Dr.  Lundy  was  capable  of  planning  and  carrying  out 
historical  research  of  a  comprehensive  character;  and  1  have 
now  to  speak  of  the  two  works  on  which  he  bestowed  great 
care — literary  undertakings  at  once  broad  in  scope,  important 
in  theme  and  original  in  design. 

At  the  beginning  of  his  professional  career  he  conceived  the 
idea  of  writing  a  book  of  permanent  value  and  selected  a  topic 
for  investigation;  and  for  twenty  years  thereafter  he  kept 
steadily  at  work  collecting  and  arranging  material,  developing 
and  elaborating  his  ideas,  sometimes  traveling  abroad  to  secure 
the  needed  data,  until  finally  he  was  able  during  the  centennial 
year  to  present  to  the  public  a  volume  containing  the  result  of 
his  researches.  This  notable  book  bore  the  title  "Monumental 
Christianity,  or  The  Art  and  Symbolism  of  the  Primitive 
Church  as  Witnesses  and  Teachers  of  the  One  Catholic  Faith 
and  Practice."  It  was  a  quarto  volume  of  453  pages,  enriched 
with  one  hundred  and  ninety-six  illustrations,  about  twenty  of 
them  being  full-paged  or  two-paged;  it  was  brought  out  in 
January,  1876,  by  James  W.  Bouton,  New  York  City. 

Portions  of  the  preface  to  the  book  are  autobiographical  in 
character;  so  I  have  ventured  to  select  from  it  some  detached 
paragraphs. 

"My  first  interest  in  archaeology,"  says  Dr.  Lundy,  "was 
awakened  about  thirty  years  ago  while  a  student  at  Princeton 
by  reading  Stephen's  two  works  on  'Central  America'  and 
'Yucatan.'  Some  years  afterwards  when  Hving  in  a  retired 
country  parsonage,  the  works  of  Layard  on  'Nineveh  and 
Babylon,'  Belzoni's  'Egypt  and  Nubia,'  and  Wilkinson's 
'Ancient  Egyptians'  were  read  with  equal  wonder  and  delight. 
It  is  now  nearly  twenty  years  ago  that  I  asked  myself  the  ques- 
tion as  to  what  had  been  done  in  a  like  direction  for  Christian- 
ity and  the  Church.  I  found  that  nothing  or  next  to  nothing 
existed  in  the  English  language,  although  there  were  able 
works  bearing  upon  the  subject  in  Italian,  French,  German,  and

Latin.  L5ut  tliey  arc  mure  or  less  controversial.  Hence  my 
thought  and  endeavor  have  here  taken  the  direction  of  an 
appeal  to  the  earliest  Clirisiian  monuments  to  ascertain,  as  far 
a.-  possible,  what  evidence  they  contain  as  to  the  real  and  entire 
truth  of  primitive  Christianity,  liut  this  made  an  inspection 
of  the  monuments  necessary.  Accordingly  1  went  to  Italy  and 
sojourned  at  Rome  as  long  as  possible,  where  I  spent  my  time 
chiefly  in  visiting  such  of  the  Catacombs  as  were  accessible, 
copying  inscriptions  from  the  Lapidarian  Gallery  and  else- 
where, inspecting  numerous  sarcophagi,  examining  the  mosaics 
of  the  old  Churches,  and  following  as  1  could  the  results  of 
Alarchi's  explorations  as  well  as  those  of  De  Rossi.  Here  1 
learned  that  a  stupendous  monumental  record  of  Christianity 
exists  equal,  if  not  superior,  in  richness  to  any  in  Egypt, 
Assyria,  Babylonia,  Mexico,  or  Central  America,  as  to  the 
religious  manners  and  customs  of  their  ancient  inhabitants.  1 
kept  a  full  journal  of  all  that  I  saw  and  learned  which  has  well 
served  me  in  this  investigation.  Naples,  Pompeii  and  Poes- 
tum  were  next  visited,  where  I  found  much  monumental  evi- 
dence of  the  vices  and  protiigacy,  culture  and  elegance,  shame 
and  glory  of  defunct  Paganism.  Thence  I  went  to  Egypt  to  see 
something  of  its  ruins  and  monuments,  and  to  procure  some 
antique  bronzes,  scarabei,  and  other  curiosities.  Palestine  and 
Syria  came  next  in  the  journey ;  and  Jerusalem,  Damascus, 
Baalbec,  Smyrna,  and  Constantinople  furnished  some  hints  and 
materials  for  the  work. 

"I  am  not  conscious  of  any  mistakes  as  to  matters  of  fact, 
or  of  any  perversions  of  them.  Just  as  1  have  found  things, 
so  I  have  thought  it  good  to  write  them  down.  Mistakes  of 
judgment  or  mistakes  of  interpretation,  there  may  be;  but  I 
have  patiently  tried  to  find  the  truth  of  all  the  symbols  here 
represented,  by  consulting  contemporary  literature. 

"In  reproducing  the  original  engravings  of  the  monuments 
and  some  of  the  monuments  themselves,  I  have  preferred  the 
photo-engraving  process  to  the  wood  cut  or  the  steel  engraving 
to  secure  greater  accuracy.  The  illustrations,  therefore,  are 
fac-similes,  true  and  exact,  rather  than  l)eautiful  and  capti- 
vating to  the  eye. 

"The  work  has  been  to  me  a  very  pleasing  occupation.  If 
it  should  in  the  least  degree  aid  any  doubtful  or  skeptical  mind 
i!i  solving  the  mvsteries    and    difficulties    of    religion,  ov  if  it 


JOHN  PATTERSON   LUNDY.  249 

should  give  to  the  Christian  mind  any  confirmation  of  the 
faith,  my  labor  has  not  been  in  vain." 

Dr.  Lundy's  life  naturally  divides  itself  into  three  periods. 
The  first  was  preparatory  and  includes  his  course  at  Princeton 
College  and  at  the  Theological  Seminary.  The  second  was  the 
period  of  his  active  work  in  the  ministry  and  covers  twenty 
years,  extending  from  1855,  when  he  became  rector  at  All 
Saints',  to  1875,  when  he  resigned  from  the  Church  of  the  Holy 
Apostles.  The  third  and  closing  period  of  his  life  was  passed 
in  retirement  at  Philadelphia,  where  for  sixteen  years  he 
devoted  himself  with  unwearied  energy  to  the  preparation  of  a 
historical  work,  the  scope  of  which  was  larger  than  that  of  his 
Monumental  Christianity.  It  was  "A  History  of  Worship 
from  Primitive  Times."  This  was  a  field  in  which  his  studies 
were  far-reaching  and  in  which  he  labored  with  a  keen  interest. 

But  he  did  not  live  to  finish  his  undertaking.' 

He  died  on  Sunday,  December  11,  1892,  in  his  seventieth 
year ;  his  funeral  service  was  held  in  St.  Stephen's  Church, 
Philadelphia,  on  Wednesday,  December  14;  and  his  remains 
were  laid  at  rest  in  the  churchyard  of  St.  James'  Church, 
Bristol,  Pa. 

Dr.  Lundy's  conversational  powers  were  charming ;  his  voice 
was  well-trained  and  musical ;  and  he  had  a  bright,  cheerful 
manner  that  made  him  a  welcome  guest.  He  was  well  read  in 
the  liturgies  of  every  age,  and  his  knowledge  of  theology  was 
extensive ;  but  his  attainments  were  not  confined  to  one  domain. 
He  was  an  antiquarian  and  an  enthusiastic  Egyptologist ;  scien- 
tific topics  also  attracted  him  and  enriched  his  thought.  He 
never  let  his  love  for  history  and  science  encroach  on  his  pas- 
toral or  social  duties ;  but  when  these  were  over,  and  his  time 
for  study  and  research  had  come,  he  treasured  every  moment 
and  applied  himself  diligently  to  his  investigations.  He  was 
genial,  studious  and  devout.  Those  who  knew  him  best  loved 
him  most  and  most  thoroughly  appreciated  his  manliness,  his 
varied  learning,  his  modest  estimate  of  himself  and  his  tireless 
industry. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  clergy  of  the  diocese  of  Pennsylvania, 
held  at  St.  Stephen's  parish  house,  December  14,  1892,  the  fol- 
lowing resolution  was  adopted  : 

"Resolved,  That  inasmuch  as  it  hath  pleased  God  in  His 
wise  providence  to  take  out  of  this  world  the  soul  of  our  dear 


250  THOMAS  LUNDY. 

brother  John  P.  Liindy,  D.D.,  we  wish  to  place  on  record  our 
affectionate  memory  of  his  godly  life,  of  his  great  learning 
whereby  he  enriched  the  Church  of  God,  of  his  high  character 
wherein  he  was  an  example  to  the  flock,  and  of  his  gentle  spirit 
whereby  he  showed  himself  easy  to  be  entreated  and  that  the 
same  spirit  was  in  him  which  was  also  in  Christ." 

The  Clerical  Brotherhood  of  Philadelphia  on  December  19, 
1892,  unanimously  adopted  the  following  minute : 

"The  Clerical  Brotherhood  has  iieard  with  regret  of  the 
death  of  the  Rev.  John  P.  Lundy,  D.D.  Though  only  an 
occasional  attendant  upon  our  meetings,  we  have  learned  to 
esteem  him  highly.  In  the  several  parishes  in  this  and  other 
dioceses,  of  which  he  was  a  rector,  he  did  faithful  work  for  the 
Master.  And  when  by  reason  of  ill-health  he  was  obliged  to 
relinquish  the  active  duties  of  the  ministry,  he  devoted  himself 
to  a  line  of  research  in  a  field  which  has  hitherto  not  received 
the  attention  it  deserves.  In  his  'Monumental  Christianity'  he 
sets  forth  in  a  strong  yet  clear  manner  a  noble  defense  of  the 
Faith  once  for  all  delivered  to  the  saints ;  and  in  a  work  to 
which  so  many  of  his  latter  years  were  devoted  it  will  doubtless 
be  found  that  he  left  behind  him  an  equally  strong  testimony 
for  the  truth  as  it  is  in  Jesus."

266  SAMUEL   LUNDY   I. 

Samuel  Lundy  I.  whose  name  stands  at  the  beginning  of  this 
Group  was  the  youngest  son  of  Richard  Lundy  II.  and  his  wife 
Ehzabeth  Large.  He  was  born  in  Bucks  county,  Pennsylvania, 
on  13  of  12  month,  1727,  and  lived  there  during  the  first  ten 
years  of  his  life;  then  he  removed  with  his  parents  to  Maiden 
Creek,  Berks  county,  in  the  same  province  and  lived  there  ten 
years.  In  1747,  Samuel  came  with  his  parents  and  settled  per- 
manently at  the  great  meadows  in  Warren  County,  New  Jersey. 
He  departed  this  life  the  14  day  of  2  month,  1801,  at  the  age 
of  seventy-four,  and  was  buried  in  Friends'  yard  at  the  Hard- 
wick  Meeting-house. 

Samuel  was  married  twice.  His  first  wife  was  Ann 
Schooley,  daughter  of  Samuel  and  Avis  (HoUoway)  Schooley, 
granddaughter  of  Thomas  and  Sarah  (Parker)  Schooley,  and 
great  granddaughter  of  Robert  Schooley.  Ann  was  born  29 
day  of  6th  month  (August),  1728,  and  departed  this  life  the 
22nd  day  of  the  3rd  month,  1758,  and  was  decently  buried  the 
24th  of  the  same,  in  Friends'  burying  ground  at  Hardwick. 
Samuel  and  Ann  made  their  first  declaration  of  intention  to 
marry  before  the  Kingwood  Monthly  Meeting  on  12  day,  7 
mo.,  1 75 1,  and  were  married  on  8  day  of  9  month  following. 
They  had  three  sons,  Isaac,  Daniel,  and  George.  After  the 
death  of  Ann,  Samuel  married  on  20th  day  of  nth  month, 
1765,  Sarah  Willets,  daughter  of  Joseph  Willets.  Sarah  died  13 
day  of  2  month,  1824,  and  was  buried  at  Hardwick.  Samuel 
and  Sarah  made  their  first  declaration  of  intention  of  mar- 
riage before  the  Kingwood  Monthly  Meeting  on  loth  day 
of  loth  month,  1765,  and  were  married  on  20th  day  of  nth 
month  following.  They  had  three  sons  and  five  daughters, 
Ann,  Levi,  Edith,  Samuel  II.,  Achsah,  Jesse,  Sarah,  and  Amy. 

Each  of  these  eleven  children  grew  to  maturity,  married  and 
has  descendants  now  living. 

In  1765  there  was  a  great  scarcity  of  bread-stuflf  throughout 
the  northern  part  of  the  province ;  and  the  people  had  eaten  up 
all  their  seed  grain  so  that  they  had  none  for  future  sowing  and 
were  in  danger  of  starving,  and  were  actually  suffering  from 
sickness  caused  by  living  too  exclusively  on  a  diet  of  meat.  The 
legislature  came  to  their  relief  and  voted  to  loan  money  to  the 
sufferers  so  that  they  could  buy  food  and  seed.  Samuel  Lundy 
I.  was  appointed  a  member  of  the  committee  to  supervise  the 


ANN   SCHOOLEY.  267 

loaning  of  these  provincial  funds,  a  task  requiring-  delicate  tact 
and  judgment. 

Samuel  was  the  sole  executor  of  the  Last  Will  and  Testa- 
ment of  his  father,  Richard  Lundy  II.,  and  by  the  terms  thereof 
inherited  all  the  real  estate  which  his  father  then  held  (1772), 
a  large  farm  having  been  deeded  in  1768  to  Jacob. 

On  September  20,  1759,  the  Board  of  Justices  and  Free- 
holders in  and  for  the  County  of  Sussex  held  a  meeting  at  the 
house  of  the  widow  VVolverton  in  Newton  township  and  elected 
Samuel  Lundy  to  be  County  Collector,  an  office  to  which  he 
was  frequently  re-elected,  serving  the  County  of  Sussex  in  that 
capacity  for  thirteen  years,  1759-64  and  1767-76.  It  will  be 
observed  that  his  services  as  treasurer  of  the  county  ceased  in 
1776;  his  retirement  from  the  office  became  necessary  because 
the  financial  strength  of  the  community  was  soon  to  be  devoted 
to  warlike  purposes,  a  policy  contrary  to  the  principles  of  the 
Society  of  Friends.  Fie  was  a  member  of  the  Township  Com- 
mittee for  two  years,  1774  and  1775  ;  and  he  represented  Hard- 
wick  township  on  the  Board  of  Justices  and  Freeholders  for 
seven  years,   1765- 1772. 

Samuel  Lundy  was  appointed  a  Judge  of  the  Pleas  for  Sus- 
sex county  in  1772.  Previous  to  the  Revolutionary  War,  the 
legislative  power  of  the  province  of  New  Jersey  was  vested  in 
a  Governor,  a  Council  and  an  Assembly.  I  quote  from  the 
minutes  of  a  Council  held  at  Perth  Amboy  on  Thursday  the 
17th  of  September,  1772,  his  Excellency,  William  Franklin, 
being  at  that  time  Governor  of  the  province:  "His  Excellency 
was  pleased  to  nominate  Jacob  Starn  and  Samuel  Lundy  to  be 
Judges  of  the  Pleas  in  the  County  of  Sussex,  and  Jacob  Lundy. 
Abia  Brown,  Robert  Allison,  Abraham  Van  Camp,  and 
Richard  Bowlby  to  be  Justices  of  the  Peace  in  said  county ;  to 
which  the  Council  assented."  See  New  Jersey  Archives,  Vol. 
XVI 1 1.,  page  294.  For  the  purpose  of  ready  identification 
among  the  several  individuals  in  that  community  each  bearing 
the  name  of  Samuel  Lundy,  it  is  sometimes  convenient  to 
designate  the  Samuel  Lundy  whose  name  is  at  the  head  of  this 
Group  as  Judge  Samuel  Lundy. 

Judge  Lundy  built  on  his  homestead  a  substantial  stone 
dwelling-house,  which  is  still  used  as  a  residence,  a  frame  addi-

tion  having  since  been  built  at  the  end ;  one  of  tlie  stones  in  the 
chimney  bears  the  inscription  "Aug.,  1780." 

Tlie  marriage  certificate  of  Samuel  Lundy  and  his  first  wife, 
Ann  Schooley,  is  entered  on  page  8  of  the  Record  of  Marriages 
for  Hardwick  Monthly  Meeting. 

Whereas  Samuel  Lundy  of  the  Township  of  Hardwick  in  the 
County  of  Morris  and  in  the  Western  Division  of  the  Province 
of  New  Jersey  and  Anne  Schooley,  daughter  of  Samuel 
Schooley  of  the  same  place,  Haveing  declared  their  Intentions 
of  marriage  with  each  other  before  several  Monthly  Meetings 
of  the  People  called  Quakers  at  Kingwood  in  the  County  of 
Hunterdon  &  province  afsd,  according  to  the  good  Order  used 
among  them  whose  Proceedings  therein  after  a  deliberate  con- 
sideration thereof  and  having  consent  of  parents  and  Relations

by  the  sd  Meeting. 

Now  these  are  to  ccrtifie  all  whome  it  may  Concern  that  for

Fifty  one,  They  the  said  Samuel  Lundy  and  Anne  Schooley

By  deed  dated  March  6,  1784,  George  Lundy,  yeoman,  of 
Hardwick,  obtained  seventy  acres  of  land  from  Nathaniel 
Pierson  and  his  wife  Ann,  the  consideration  therefor  being  one 
hundred  and  thirty  pounds  lawful  money  in  hand  paid,  and  said 
land  lying  in  Hardwick  and  being  butted  by  lands  belonging 
to  Samuel  Lundy,  Charles  Coxe  and  others. 

By  deed  dated  November  5,  1787,  George  Lundy  obtained 
from  James  Kinsey  of  Burlington  county,  N.  J.,  130  acres  of 
Proprietary  Rights,  land  that  had  never  been  located.  The 
consideration  was  £15  12s.  This  transaction  is  a  good  illustra- 
tion of  the  method  of  securing  real  estate  in  colonial  times. 
The  instrument  shows  that  John  Hind  had  obtained  on  August 
4,  1773,  from  the  West  Jersey  Proprietors  a  land  warrant  for 
40,000  acres  of  land  unlocated ;  and  that  James  Kinsey  had 
purchased  from  Hind's  estate  a  right  to  200  acres  of  this  land 
"to  be  laid  forth  and  surveyed  anywhere  in  the  Western 
Division  of  New  Jersey  not  before  legally  located."  Kinsey 
now  subdivides  his  warrant,  retaining  70  and  selling  the 
remaining  130  acres.  George  Lundy,  as  soon  as  he  received 
his  deed  for  the  130  acres  of  Proprietary  Right,  selected  that 
amount  of  land  in  Hardwick  adjoining  that  which  he  already 
owned,  called  in  an  authorized  surveyor  to  stake  it  and  map  it 
out  for  him,  and  completed  his  title  by  going  to  the  land-office 
at  Burlington  and  filing  papers  given  to  him  by  the  surveyor. 

On  January  i,  1794,  George  Lundy,  farmer,  of  Hardwick, 
obtained  by  deed  from  Thomas  Lundy,  mason,  of  the  same 
place,  in  consideration  of  £55,  thirty-eight  and  one-quarter 
acres  of  land,  abutting  land  already  owned  by  George  Lundy.

George  Lundy  II.  (of  George,  Samuel,  Richard  II.)  married 
on  10  of  9  mo.,  1806,  Ruth  Adams,  daughter  of  Alexander  and 
Anna  (Bellis)  Adams.  George  settled  along  the  Request 
River  near  the  county  line  between  Warren  and  Sussex,  on  a 
farm  of  125  acres  which  he  had  purchased  of  Israel  and  Eliza- 
beth (Lundy)  Bunting  by  deed  dated  May  6,  1808..  Eight

at  least  two  children;  namely,  Calvin,  and  George  of  Plains- 
ville,  Ind.  VIII.  Elizabeth;  m.  Mr.  Barton;  it  is  probable 
that  they  were  the  parents  of  Elmira.  who  married  Nelson 
White  and  dwelt  near  Johnsonburg,  N.  J.,  about  1857:  Elmira 
was  certainly  the  daughter  of  Elizabeth  or  of  her  sister  Susan. 

George  Lundy  II.  died  in  1824;  and  letters  of  administration 
were  granted  to  his  brother  Jonathan,  who  by  order  of  the 
Court,  sold  to  William  Hart,  Jr.,  a  tract  of  15  acres  at  $22  an 
acre,  thus  clearing  up  the  debts  and  leaving  no  acres  in  posses- 
sion of  Ruth  and  her  children.  Here  they  lived  until,  in  1841, 
Ruth  sold  to  William  Hart,  Jr.,  all  her  dower  right.  George. 
Samuel,  and  John  removed  to  Indiana;  Ruth,  their  mother, 
accompanied  them  and  died  at  Loogootee,,  Martin  county, 
Indiana,  January  3,  1866.  Samuel  finally  left  Indiana  and

Of  Warren  County,  N.  J. :  of  Warren  County,  Pa. 
Esther  Lundy  (of  George.  Samuel,  Richard  II.)  married, 
about  1812,  William  Gibbs,  who  died  in  April,  1847.  at  the  age 
of  67  years,  son  of  John  and  Nancy  (Swayze)  Gibbs.  Five

d.  May  4,  1844,  aged  26  years,  5  months,  12  days.  V.  George 
Limdy,  b.  about  1820;  d.  about  1871.  Cynthia  was  the  only 
one  of  these  who  married  and  left  a  family.  After  the  death 
of  Esther,  William  married  Sarah  Dixon,  and  about  1829 
removed  to  Corydon.  Warren  county,  Pa.  He  was  a  Justice 
of  the  f\^ace  for  many  years.  When  William  left  New  Jersey, 
his  daughter  Edith  remained  at  her  grandfather  George 
Lundy's.  where  she  died  about  five  years  afterward. 

George  Lundy  Gibbs  went  to  Ohio  with  his  uncle  Jonathan 
Lundy,  studied  medicine,  and  settled  at  New  Albany,  Indiana, 
where  he  practised  his  profession.  He  never  married.  During 
the  war,  he  attended  the  families  of  soldiers  without  charge ; 
he  was  very  decided  and  outspoken  in  support  of  the  Union, 
and  a  plot  was  made  to  assassinate  him,  but  one  of  the  con- 
spirators cautioned  him  not  to  take  his  usual  route,  and  so  the 
attempt  failed.  He  visited  his  kinsmen  in  New  Jersey;  and, 
alluding  to  his  excellent  health  and  splendid  physique,  he 
remarked  that  he  considered  himself  good  for  a  hundred  years. 
But  he  died  suddenly  soou  after  his  return  to  Indiana. 

The  following  extract  is  from  a  letter  headed  "Corydon,  Pa.. 
November  6,  1831,"  and  written  by  William  Gibbs  to  Samuel 
Laing  of  Johnsonburg,  N.  J. : 

"I  live  on  the  Alleghany  river  where  the  State  of  New  York 
and  of  Pennsylvania  crosses  said  river.  I  am  getting  on  in  years 
and  cannot  stand  portage.  My  family  is  well.  They  started 
the  6  of  July  in  the  evening,  and  landed  at  Bufifalo  the  15th 
and  at  home  the  i6th.  I  wish  there  could  be  some  way  for  me 
to  get  Edith  here.  I  should  have  sent  for  her  when  I  sent  for 
the  others,  but  I  thought  she  had  one  year  to  stay  with  her 
grandmother.  If  you  or  any  safe  person  should  come  near 
this  place,  I  will  pay  the  expense  if  you  will  bring  her  here. 
The  best  way  to  get  here  is  to  take  the  canal  and  come  to 
Bufifalo,  thence  to  Portland,  and  by  land  8  miles  to  Mayville, 
then  by  water  to  Jamestown,  then  by  land  25  miles  to  this  place. 
I  live  4  or  5  miles  from  the  Pounds,  that  is,  Thomas,  Daniel, 
and  Jonathan."

The  children  of  the  earliest  settlers  were  taught  at  private 
houses.  A  natural  desire  on  the  part  of  parents  that  their  chil- 
dren should  be  able  to  read  and  write  would  lead  to  a  confer- 
ence among  the  neighbors ;  the  services  of  some  member  of  one 
of  the  families  would  be  available,  a  grown  up  daughter 
perhaps  or  a  maiden  aunt ;  a  vacant  room  would  be  secured  con- 
venient for  the  children,  and  a  school  opened.  Little  tots 
would  gather  there  in  fall  and  spring,  but  would  give  way  in 
part  during  winter  to  learners  of  a  larger  size.  A  home-school 
of  this  kind  could  l)e  readily  shifted  from  one  part  of  the 
neighborhood  to  another,  according  to  the  ever-varying  cir- 
cumstances of  the  different  households.  Sometimes  abandoned 
dwellings  or  empty  tenement-houses  w^ould  be  used  tempor- 
arily for  school  purposes.  When  special  buildings  were  put  up, 
it  w-as  generally  done  by  the  united  work  of  several  of  the  lead- 
ing families,  the  natural  result  of  this  being  that  those  who 
built  the  school-house  could  control  it.  choosing  between  rival 
teachers  or  closing  it  up  altogether. 

This  system,  or  rather  lack  <^f  systeiu.  was  perhaps  the  best 
possible  for  those  days ;  but  in  the  course  of  time  reformers 
arose  and  agitated  for  better  schools  with  this  result  that  in 
January.  1838,  the  State  legislature  passed  an  act  wdiich  author- 
ized the  formation  of  local  boards  to  manage  school  aiTairs,  and

directed  the  appointment  of  examiners  to  license  teachers,  and 
empowered  townships  to  raise  school-money  by  taxation. 

An  old  school-house  which  stood  between  Levi  Lundy's  and 
Jonathan  Willson's  appears  to  have  been  the  first  building  in 
that  neighborhood  devoted  exclusively  to  school  purposes. 
Here  taught  John  Armstrong  (not  of  kin  to  Nathan  Arm- 
strong the  pioneer)  and  Mr.  Phipps,  and  also  Daniel  Vliet,  who 
married  Permelia  Lundy.  It  was  abandoned  in  1838;  and 
school  was  opened  in  the  new  building  which  had  been  erected 
at  the  upper  corner  of  the  road  on  the  property  of  David 
Lundy. 

David  Lundy  and  Sally,  his  wife,  by  deed  dated  August  13, 
1838,  donated  to  the  first  trustees  of  the  Union  District  of  the 
townships  of  Hardwick  and  Independence  a  lot  whereon  to 
build  a  school-house  "exclusively  for  the  only  proper  use  and 
purpose  of  schooling  and  educating  children." 

This  was  the  Southtown  school  which  for  the  next  twenty 
years  was  the  best  school  in  that  section  of  the  country.  The 
teachers  were  far  above  the  average  in  ability  and  ambition, 
nearly  every  one  of  them  having  enjoyed  unusual  educational 
advantages ;  some  were  studying  law,  and  others  were  prepar- 
ing for  the  ministry.  They  were  able  to  teach  advanced  sub- 
jects and  were  anxious  to  do  it;  and  thus  they  attracted  and 
retained  in  school  a  large  class  of  young  men  and  women. 
The  drill  in  reading  was  especially  thorough ;  English  grammar 
including  analysis  and  parsing  received  much  attention  and 
was  studied  by  all  the  larger  pupils.  There  were  classes  in 
rhetoric,  physiology,  chemistry,  botany,  and  astronomy. 

The  names  of  these  school-masters  were  Mr.  Decatur,  Albert 
Waterman,  who  was  the  son  of  a  sea  captain,  and  pleased  the 
children  by  showing  them  shells  and  other  curios  from  the 
Indian  ocean,  Mr.  Burnham,  Salmon  Fay,  who  was  slightly 
lame,  but  very  much  liked,  Mr.  Norris,  Jonathan  Cotton,  who 
married  a  Warbasse,  Samuel  Stevenson,  who  had  been  edu- 
cated at  a  Friends'  High  School  in  Pennsylvania,  and  who  was 
modest  and  retiring  and  in  every  respect  a  first-class  teacher, 
Elam  M.  Smith,  who  was  a  son  of  David  Smith  of  Lafayette, 
N.  J.,  and  Jesse  Berry  of  New  York  State,  who  was  an  excel- 
lent teacher,  but  who  was  fond  of  changing  schools,  and  taught 
off  and  on  between  the  going  and  coming  of  other  teachers. 
Three  Gaylord  brothers  also  taught  here ;  of  these  Wilberforce,

who  was  somewhat  of  an  ovdUtr,  came  first ;  lie  was  tonuwed  1)\- 
Jackson  and  then  by  Edson,  a  }ounger  brother,  who  had  the 
school  in  1851-2.  Then  came  Ira  K.  Willson  and  Elder  J.  S. 
Alaxwell,  the  Christian  minister.  Decatur  and  the  four  who 
followed  him,  and  also  the  Gaylord  brothers,  were  from  New 
England,  from  the  same  neighborhood  in  which  luhan  Allen 
was  born. 

The  text-books  were  Cobb's  Speller,  Daboll's  Arithmetic, 
Kirkham's  Grammar,  Olney's  Geography,  the  Juvenile 
Readers,  the  National  Preceptor,  Newman's  Rhetoric,  and 
Calvin  Cutter's  Physiology.  Anatomy  and  Hygiene.  The 
Philosophy,  the  Botany  and  the  (leology  were  by  Comstock ; 
the  text-book  in  astronomy  was  Burritt's  Geography  of  the 
Heavens,  the  constellations  being  traced  by  the  aid  of  an  excel- 
lent star-atlas. 

Books  were  bought  b}-  the  trustees  and  loaned  to  the  scholars 
free  of  charge,  some  of  the  patrons  not  being  able  to  purchase 
books  in  the  advanced  subjects  which  their  children  were  able 
and  anxious  to  studw  William  W.  Wilson  was  County  Super- 
intendent ;  and  when  he  visited  Southtown  in  the  forenoon. 
there  would  be  no  school  in  the  afternoon,  tor  the  teacher 
would  go  along  with  him  to  inspect  other  schools ;  and  Jesse 
i;erry  used  to  tell  with  pride  how  the  Superintendent  turned  to 
him  once  and  said:  "How  I  wish  we  had  some  of  your 
scholars  here  to  read  for  them." 

Berry  was  a  Whig;  Moses  Hazen,  who  lived  near  by  was  a 
Democrat ;  both  were  very  well  informed  on  the  political  issues 
of  the  day  ;  and  they  would  sit  in  the  shade  on  the  rocks  near 
the  scIkxjI  and  argue  by  the  hour.  There  was  a  debating 
society  for  men,  which  held  regular  meetings  in  the  school- 
house  at  night ;  political  questions  were  discussed  freely,  and 
sometimes  the  room  would  be  filled  to  overflowing  with  people 
who  had  come  some  distance,  either  to  take  part  or  to  listen. 

It  was  Edson  Gaylord  who  encouraged  the  pupils  to  make 
flower-gardens  on  the  play-ground.  All  the  narrow  strips  of 
soil  along  the  ledges  were  carefully  utilized.  The  teacher 
supervised  operations  so  as  to  secure  the  proper  general  effect, 
and  he  helped  sliifl  the  larger  rocks  so  as  to  make  the  terraces 
more  regular,  while  tlie  children  carried  stones  and  built  fences. 
It  was  a  hard  task  and  a  long  one,  but  they  all  worked  with  a 
will,  morning,  noon  and  night,  and  thought  it  was  fun.     The

soil  was  marked  out  into  beds  and  a  definite  portion  was 
assigned  to  each  pupil  to  plant  and  cultivate  according  to  his 
pleasure.  Seeds  and  bull:)s  and  roots  were  brought  from  home, 
the  selection  of  each  having  formed  a  topic  of  long  and  ani- 
mated discussion. 

While  Edson  Gaylord  was  teaching  at  Southtown,  there 
was  a  total  eclipse  of  the  sun.  He  explained  in  detail  to  all  the 
children  the  cause  of  the  eclipse,  using  diagrams  on  the  black- 
board to  show  the  relative  positions  of  the  sun,  moon  and  earth. 
He  had  the  children  come  to  school  for  several  days  a  half  hour 
earlier  than  usual  so  as  to  gain  time ;  and  then  during  the  after- 
noon of  the  eclipse  no  lessons  were  heard,  but  all  the  pupils 
remained  on  the  playground  watching  the  eclipse  through  the 
smoked  glasses  which  they  had  prepared  and  brought  from 
home.  Some  of  the  children  were  afraid,  and  certainly  it  was  a 
sight  to  inspire  awe  ;•  for  as  the  eclipse  became  total,  the  trees 
cast  gloomy  shadow^s,  the  stars  came  out.  and  the  hens  went  to 
roost  in  the  little  barn  near  by. 

The  frequent  repetition  of  the  names  Lundy  and  Willson  in 
these  memoranda  adds  point  to  the  story  told  about  the  Scotch- 
Irishman  who  came  there  an  entire  stranger  and,  finding  that 
no  school  was  being  taught  at  the  time,  applied  for  the  use  of 
the  building,  and  then  according  to  the  custom  of  those  days, 
started  through  the  settlement  to  get  the  parents  to  put  their 
names  on  his  subscription  list,  pledging  payment  for  so  many 
days'  attendance  at  school  on  the  part  of  their  children.  He  got 
subscribers  fast  enough,  for  children  were  numerous  and  very 
healthy  ;  but  he  was  surprised  at  the  lack  of  variety  in  the 
family  names,  and  so  at  the  next  house,  when  the  father  made 
his  appearance,  the  Irishman  said  to  him,  "Sir,  is  your  name 
Willson  or  Lundy?  I  never  saw  such  a  place.  It  is  Lundy 
and  Willson,  and  Willson  and  Lundy  all  the  time.  You  are  a 
very  mixed  multitude." 

The  Quaker  Settlement  was  a  station  on  the  Underground 
Railroad.  Slaves  fleeing  from  bondage  would  pass  through 
Philadelphia  to  Burlington,  N.  J. ;  and  then  traveling  north- 
ward by  way  of  Quakertown  or  Plainfield  would  reach  the 
Quaker  Settlement.  Here  they  obtained  rest  and  food,  and 
were  concealed  in  barns  and  cellars.  Witnesses  to  these 
scenes  are  still  living ;  they  remember  hearing  voices  of  prayer

feeding  her  two  children  when  she  heard  a  horse  and  carriage 
driven  up  to  the  door. 

These  fugitives  came  in  the  night  and  went  away  in  the 
night;  one  morning  they  would  be  there,  and  a  morning  or 
two  after  they  would  be  gone;  they  were  always  carefully 
directed  to  the  next  station  and  sometimes  taken  a  part  of  the 
way  concealed  in  the  bottom  of  a  wagon.  The  next  station  in 
their  long  flight  to  Canada  was  among  the  families  of  some 
Friends  who  lived  on  the  drowned  lands  in  the  valley  of  the 
Wallkill  river,  Sussex  county,  near  the  New  York  State  line.

the  northern  tier  of  counties  bordering  on  Virginia.  Danbury 
is  the  county-seat  of  Stokes ;  and  a  correspondent  of  mine  who 
lives  in  that  town  says  that  there  are  two  deeds  bearing  the 
Willets  name  recorded  in  the  office  of  the  Registrar  of  Deeds, 
one  dated  1802,  and  given  by  Elizabeth  Pike  to  Gabriel  Willets 
for  land  on  Muddy  Creek;  the  other  dated  1804  and  given  by 
Gabriel  Willets  to  David  Phillips  for  land  on  the  Middle  Fork 
of  Muddy  Creek ;  said  tracts  now  lie  in  Forsyth  county  which

need  not  be  confused  if  he  keeps  steadily  in  mind  the  two  vital 
issues  that  unify  our  history:  the  formation  and  preserva- 
tion of  the  Union,  and  the  growth  and  abolition  of  Slavery.  It 
is  a  safe  rule  to  regard  those  events  in  our  history  as  the  most 
important  which  have  exerted  the  most  direct  influence  on  the 
one  or  the  other  of  these  great  issues. 

The  great  movements  of  history,  not  its  episodes,  should  be 
the  central  topics  of  study. 

But  historical  movements  as  they  sweep  onward  become 
complex  and  difficult  to  analyze,  and  hence  it  is  the  part  of 
wisdom  to  study  the  beginnings  of  great  movements.  "Know- 
est  thou  not,"  asks  the  broad-browed  Plato  in  his  immortal 
Republic,  "knowest  thou  not  that  the  chiefest  part  of  every 
work  is  its  beginning?"  True,  and  therefore  it  is  eminently 
wise  for  the  student  of  history  to  emphasize  the  beginnings  and 
to  investigate  them  thoroughly,  going  back  often  to  the  ori- 
ginal motives  and  first  actors  in  .any  great  reform. 

Bearing  these  admonitions  in  mind,  I  have  chosen  for  the 
subject  of  my  paper  this  evening,  Benjamin  Lundy,  the 
Founder  of  American  Abolitionism,  a  theme  that  relates  direct- 
1;  to  the  slavery  conflict  and  takes  us  back  to  the  days  when 
the  advocates  of  human  freedom  were  a  feeble  folk. 

After  the  close  of  the  Revolutionary  war  anti-slavery  views 
were  quite  popular  in  this  country,  but  activity  along  that  line 
.'ioon  ceased.  This  early  anti-slavery  sentiment  seems  to  have 
been  a  mere  corollary  to  the  discussion  that  had  raged  concern- 
ing the  rights  of  man. as  set  forth  in  the  Declaration  of  Inde- 
pendence. It  never  called  forth  much  self-sacrifice  but  it  did 
lead  to  the  extinction  of  slaverv  in.  the  Northern  States.

Slavery  discussion  previous  to  the  War  of  i<Si2  was  only  the 
echo  of  a  storm  that  had  ])assed  ;  slavery  discussion  after  the 
War  of  i(Si2  was  the  muttering-  ])relude  of  a  coming  cyclone. 

Xo  greater  conflict  has  ever  rocked  this  continent  than  that 
which  grew  out  of  the  agitation  commenced  by  Benjamin 
Lund}-,  the  abolitionist. 

"What  whets  the  knife 
For  the  l^iion's  life? 
Hark  to  the  answer: — Slavery." 

Two  generations  ago  abolitionism  was  in  its  formative 
period.  The  pioneers  of  the  movement  were  beginning  their 
labors.  They  were  establishing  newspapers,  inaugurating  a 
system  of  public  lectures  and  organizing  their  scattered  follow- 
ers into  a  compact  body  for  the  purpose  of  disseminating  their 
doctrine  more  efifectively  by  united  efforts. 

Then  they  were  poor,  despised,  persecuted,  because  they 
dared  to  work  for  the  overthrow  of  slavery;  but  they  have 
proved  themselves  to  be  the  noblest  group  of  reformers  in 
American  history.  By  their  toils  and  struggles,  they  laid  anew 
the  moral  foundations  of  a  continent ;  and  among  this  band  of 
heroes.  Benjamin  Tundy  stands  first  in  time,  in  entire  conse- 
cration, in  patient  ])crscverance  and  in  self-sacrifice. 

Horace  Greeley,  a  man  well  cnnlified  to  speak,  says  of 
Lundy:  "He  w^as  the  first  of  our  countrymen  who  devoted  his 
life  and  all  his  pow'crs  to  the  cause  of  the  slaves.  He  gave  to 
the  cause  of  emancipation  neither  wealth,  nor  eloquence,  nor 
lofty  abilities ;  for  he  had  thetn  not :  but  his  courage,  persever- 
ance and  devotion  were  imsurpassed." 

Dr.  \'on  Hoist,  of  the  Universitv  of  Chicago,  in  his  Consti- 
lutionnl  Historv  of  the  l"^nited  States,  speaks  of  Benjamin 
r.und\-  as  the  father  of  the  abolitionists,  mentions  his  wander- 
ings and  his  sacrifices,  and  then  adds :  "The  XTXth  century  can 
scarcely  point  to  another  instance  in  which  the  command  of 
Christ  to  leave  all  things  and  follow  Him  has  been  so  literally 
crmstrued  and  followed." 

Benjamin  Lundv.  son  of  Joscnh  and  Elizabeth  (ShotwelH 
T  undv,  was  born  4th  day  of  ist  Month.  T/Sq.  in  Sussex  county. 
N.  T..  and  lived  there  for  nineteen  vears.  He  started  to  school 
nt  the  age  of  four  and  learned  his  letters;  but  his  mother  died 
and  this  loss  took  him  out  of  school  for  two  vears.     After  his 


THE  PHILANTHROPIST.  35  I 

father's  second  niarriag;e,  Benjamin  went  to  school  for  two 
years  and  learned,  to  read  and  write ;  this  was  all  the  schooling 
he  ever  had  except  one  quarter's  attendance  during  the  winter 
he  was  sixteen  when  he  devoted  himself  to  working  the  prob- 
lems in  the  back  part  of  the  arithmetic.  Thus  his  book-learning 
was  very  meager. 

Benjamin  was  brought  up  in  the  religious  faith  of  the  So- 
ciety of  Friends  and  was  trained  to  their  plain  way  of  living ; 
and  in  this  faith  and  way  he  lived  and  died. 

He  was  frail  of  body.  While  \et  a  boy  he  tried  to  do  a  man's 
work  on  a  farm,  with  this  result, — that  he  became  partially 
deaf  and  also  impaired  his  health  so  seriously  as  to  cause 
anxiety.  Finally  it  was  decided  to  try  a  complete  change  of 
environment ;  and  so  in  his  nineteenth  year,  he  went  to  Ohio 
and  stopped  at  Mt.  Pleasant,  a  cluster  of  six  log-cabins. 

Benjamin's  general  health  improved,  but  partial  deafness 
continued  to  be  throughout  his  life  an  embarrassing  affliction 
to  him  as  traveler  and  lecturer. 

Having  resolved  to  learn  a  trade,  he  went  to  Wheeling,  ten 
miles  away,  now  the  metropolis  of  West  Virginia,  and  entered 
into  apprenticeship  with  a  saddler.  There  he  remained  four 
years,  receiving  wages  as  a  skilled  workman  during  the  last 
eighteen  months. 

Since  Benjamin  Lundy  was  the  originator  of  the  abolition 
movement  in  the  United  States,  it  becomes  a  matter  of  interest 
tc  note  the  origin  of  the  idea  in  his  own  mind.  As  bearing  on 
this  phase  of  the  subject,  the  beginning  of  the  beginning,  I  will 
state  the  testimony  of  the  Society  of  Friends  concerning 
slaverv ;  I  will  then  describe  slavery  as  Benjamin  Lundy  saw 
it  during  his  youth  in  New  Jersey  and  as  he  saw  it  during  his 
apprenticeship  in  West  Virginia. 

The  doctrine  of  the  Society  of  Friends  against  human 
slavery  was  clear  and  strong ;  the  Quakers  have  been  the  bold- 
est and  most  aggressive  advocates  of  personal  freedom.  No 
denomination  o'l  Christians  has  a  nobler  record  in  opposition  to 
slavery  than  the  Quakers.  Such  was  the  religious  training  re- 
ceived by  Benjamin  Lundy;  and  often  during  his  youth,  at 
meetings  for  worship,  had  he  heard  holy  voices  raised  in 
solemn  warnings  against  the  sin  of  slave-holding. 

There  were  only  a  few  slaves  on  the  Jersey  frontier ;  the 
census  taken  in  Lundy's  native  township  shows  that  there  wa«; 


352  BENJAMIN   LUNDY 

at  that  time  (inly  one  nej^ro  slave  to  every  fifty-two  white  in- 
habitants. 'I"he  IxMidat^e  was  of  a  mild  type;  masters,  slaves, 
bound  bo\s  and  hired  men  all  went  to  the  same  field  and  asso- 
ciated and  worked  together ;  it  was  only  in  messing  and  lodging 
that  there  was  any  distinction  between  the  white  laborer  and 
the  black.  There  was  no  profit  in  slave  labor  among  the  rock- 
ribbed  hills  of  Jersey ;  it  was,  however,  a  domestic  convenience 
to  have  a  Dinah  to  cook  and  a  Pompey  to  take  care  of  the 
horses :  but  the  possession  of  a  family  of  blacks  was  coveted 
most  as  a  mark  of  social  standing ;  for  in  those  days  wherever 
you  saw  a  slave,  his  master  was  sure  to  be  a  county  judge,  or 
a  church  elder,  or  a  captain  of  militia. 

Perhaps  in  no  part  of  the  United  States  had  negro  slavery 
assumed  a  milder  form  than  aiuong  the  mountains  of  northern 
New  Jersey ;  and  perhaps  in  no  part  of  the  United  States  did 
the  system  of  African  slavery  exhibit  its  repulsive  features  in 
so  open  a  form  unrelieved  by  any  redeeming  trait,  as  it 
did  at  this  very  time  at  the  city  of  Wheeling.  Such 
a  thing  as  the  slave  trade  was  unknown  in  northern 
Xew  Jersey  during  the  period  of  Henjamin's  boyhood,  but 
when  he  entered  Wheeling  he  found  the  slave  trade  organized 
and  carried  on  systematically.  It  was  the  trafific  in  human 
flesh  on  a  commercial  basis  that  confronted  Benjamin. 

Observe  the  position  of  Wheeling.  It  was  on  the  Ohio  river, 
the  boundary  line  of  the  slave  country,  the  line  over  which  r)en- 
jamin  oscillated  every  week.  He  worked  at  his  trade  in  \'ir- 
ginia,  a  slaveholding  state ;  l)ut  during  l'"irst  Da}s,  he  visited 
his  friends  and  attended  religious  services  across  the  liser  in 
Ohio,  a  free-soil  state.  The  contrast  between  free  labor  aiul 
slave  labor  was  kept  continually  before  his  mind 

Observe  also,  what  is  still  more  important,  the  position  of 
Wheeling  as  related  to  the  western  and  eastern  group  of  slave- 
holding  states.  In  tlie  west,  Kentucky  and  Missouri  were  be- 
ing ra])idl\  settled,  h^migrants  hungry  for  land  were  rushing 
there  in  crowds  and  there  was  a  constant  demand  for  slaves  to 
operate  the  new  i)lanlati()ns.  Tn  ilie  east,  Maryland  and  Vir- 
ginia were  the  breeding-ground  for  this  western  market.  Here 
the  slaves  were  raised  and  sold  to  traders.  These  traders, 
when  they  had  gathered  a  sufificicnt  numl)er  of  negroes,  cha-ned 
them  together  in  long  gangs  to  prevent  escape  into  the  tree 
states  here  so  near  at  liand.  and  marched  them  westward;  head- 


THE  PHILANTHROPIST.  353 

ing  for  the  Ohio  river,  where  the  slaves  could  be  placed  on 
boats  and  floated  down  to  their  destination.  As  these  gangs 
started  westward  from  the  various  parts  of  Maryland  and  Vir- 
ginia, they  naturally  converged  and  struck  the  National  Turn- 
pike that  had  been  built  by  Congress,  and  followed  it  to  its 
western  terminus, — Wheeling  on  the  Ohio. 

Thus  it  was  that  IJenjamin  Lundy  frequently  saw  these 
coffles  passing  through  the  city.  He  saw  no  glimpses  of 
liappx-  plantation  life,  only  the  hard,  stern  realities  of  the 
slave  trade.  He  heard  no  melodies  from  their  lips,  only  the 
monotonous  clicking  of  the  chains  as  the  long  lines  filed  slowly 
by. 

It  seemed  to  him  like  an  endless  procession  of  woe,  to  see 
company  after  compan>-  of  these  wretched  beings  come  down 
the  road  from  the  mountain  gorge  and  pass  through  the  streets 
on  their  way  to  the  slave  pens  by  the  river  to  await  transporta- 
tion. The  gloomy  fate  of  those  held  in  bondage  touched  the 
heart  of  Benjamin  Lundy  :  and  his  whole  being  revolted  against 
the  iniquitous  traffic  in  human  flesh  and  against  the  legalized 
system  of  human  slavery. 

Benjamin  left  Wheeling  in  1812  and  returned  to  Mt.  Pleas- 
ant, Ohio,  where  he  secured  employment  at  his  trade.  Here  he 
had  a  friend,  William  Lewis,  and  William  Lewis  had  a  sister 
Esther,  and  Esther-J^.ewis  was  a  fine  girl,  in  Benjamin's  opinion 
a  very  fine  girl.  Two  years  passed  and  then  Benjamin  came 
east  on  a  visit  to  his  father  who  was  now  living  in  Burlington 
county,  N.  J.  He  stayed  during  the  summer  and  fall  and  this 
long  visit  enables  us  to  have  a  good  view  of  the  young  saddler. 
He  was  slender,  and  slightly  under  middle  size,  with  light  com- 
plexion, blue  eyes  and  wavy  hair.  He  was  cheerful,  unassum- 
ing and  studious.  A  younger  sister  remembered  him  as  always 
having  a  book  in  his  hand. 

Returning  to  Mt.  Pleasant  he  was  married  by  Friends'  cere- 
mony. 2  mo.  13.  1815.  to  Esther,  daughter  of  Henry  and  Susan 
Lewis.  He  bought  a  lot  at  St.  Clairsville.  Ohio,  eleven  miles 
west  of  Wheeling,  built  thereon  a  dwelling-house  and  a  shojx 
and  started  in  business  for  himself.  Harness-making  was  a 
good  trade  in  a  communit}-  w^herc  every  spring  brought  a 
swarm  of  new  settlers  and  every  settler  cleared  up  a  new  farm. 
The  demand  for  saddlery  was  brisk ;  so  he  enlarged  his  shop 
and  secured  two  ai>prentice  bo}s.     He  paid  ofif  his  debts  and 


354  BENJAMIN   LUNDY 

found  he  was  worth  three  thousand  dollars.  His  sales  still  in- 
creasing he  secured  more  apprentice  boys  and  also  employed 
some  journeymen.  A  competence  was  within  his  grasp ;  a  few 
years  more  and  he  would  be  beyond  the  reach  of  want. 

We  have  seen  how  Benjamin  Lundy  had  his  mind  and  heart 
aroused  against  slavery ;  we  will  now  trace  the  steps  by  which 
he  became  actively  engaged  in  anti-slavery  work. 

Lundy's  convictions  were  strong  and  deep ;  and  his  feelings 
of  pity  for  the  slave  were  so  keen  as  to  fill  his  soul  with  an- 
guish ;  but  so  far  as  can  be  learned,  no  act  of  his  life  previous  to 
the  completion  of  his  twenty-fifth  year  (1815)  had  ever  been 
prompted  or  even  influenced  in  the  slightest  degree  by  his  views 
on  the  subject  of  slavery. 

But  this  was  to  change  quickly.  He  began  housekeeping,  as 
I  have  said,  in  the  spring  of  1815,  at  St.  Clairsville.  As  soon 
as  he  was  fairly  settled  in  a  home  of  his  own,  he  invited  some 
of  his  new  neighbors  to  come  to  his  house  on  the  evening  of  a 
certain  day.  Five  or  six  persons  came  at  the  appointed  time. 
To  them  he  unbosomed  his  feelings.  Finding  sympathetic 
hearers,  he  proposed  a  public  meeting  for  further  agitation. 
His  plan  was  approved,  a  date  fixed  and  the  public  invited.  At 
this  second  meeting,  which  was  also  held  at  Lundy's  house,  an 
anti-slavery  association  was  formed  called  the  Union  Humane 
Society.  It  grew  rapidly  and  soon  enrolled  five  hundred 
members.  From  this  local  success  Lundy  conceived  the  idea 
of  organizing  a  number  of  such  societies,  and  to  this  end  he 
w^rote  an  address  to  the  philanthropists  of  the  United  States. 
He  made  five  or  six  copies  with  his  owm  hand  and  circulated 
them  through  the  neighborhood.  That  autumn  a  yearly  meet- 
ing of  the  Society  of  Friends  was  held  at  Mt.  Pleasant.  Lundy 
attended  the  meeting  and  distributed  some  more  manuscript 
copies  of  his  appeal. 

Some  of  the  Friends  who  thus  received  copies,  on  returning 
to  their  respective  homes,  organized  similar  associations  and. 
in  making  a  report  thereof  to  Lundy  urged  him  to  print  his 
appeal  for  general  distribution.  Lundy  complied  with  their 
suggestion  and  published  his  "Address"  on  his  birthday,  Jan- 
uary 4,  i8t6. 

Horace  Greeley  in  his  American  Conflict,  speaks  of  this 
circular  of  Lundy's  and  says  that  it  contained  the  germ  of  the 
whole  anti-slaverv  movement. 


THE  PHILANTHROPIST.  355 

Lundy  begins  his  appeal  with  a  skillful  allusion  to  the  tri- 
umphant suppression  of  the  African  slave  trade,  and  then  drives 
home  the  thought  that  the  seeds  of  the  evil  system  had  already 
been  planted  in  our  soil,  that  these  seeds  were  springing  up  and 
producing  increase,  and  that  the  mere  closing  of  our  harbors  to 
the  importation  of  new  slaves  from  Africa  did  not  touch  the 
root  of  the  evil.  He  urges  renewed  effort  and  proposes  the  fol- 
lowing lines  of  action : 

1.  That  societies  should  be  formed  wherever  a  sufficient 
number  of  persons  could  be  induced  to  join  in  them. 

2.  That  a  title  should  be  adopted  common  to  all  the  societies. 

3.  That  they  should  all  have  a  uniform  constitution,  "vary- 
ing only  on  account  of  necessity  arising  from  location." 

4.  That  a  correspondence  should  be  kept  up  between  the  so- 
cieties to  promote  their  common  purpose ;  and 

5.  That  delegates  should  be  chosen  to  meet  in  general  con- 
vention for  the  transaction  of  any  important  business  that 
might  arise. 

He  closes  his  circular  with  these  solemn  words  of  consecra- 
tion :  "T  have  had  this  subject  long  in  contemplation,  and- 1  have 
now  taken  it  up,  fully  determined  for  one  never  to  lay  it  down 
while  I  breathe  or  until  the  end  shall  be  attained." 

A  local  newspaper.  The  Philanthropist,  had  recently  been 
established  at  Mt.  Pleasant,  and  the  proprietor,  Charles  Os- 
borne, opened  the  columns  of  his  paper  for  the  discussion  of 
slavery.  Lundy  saw  here  an  opportunity  to  aid  the  anti-slavery 
cause.  He  selected  articles  wherever  he  could  find  them  and 
had  them  published  in  the  Philanthropist.  As  soon  as  he 
gained  confidence  in  the  tone  of  the  paper,  he  began  to  canvass 
his  neighborhood  for  subscribers.  Whenever  the  editor  opened 
Lundy's  letters  he  found  therein  anti-slavery  clippings  and  the 
names  of  some  new  subscribers  and  a  few  lines  written  by 
Lundy  himself;  all  these  were  duly  appreciated,  for  Lundy's 
comments  began  to  appear  among  the  editorial  paragraphs. 

It  was  not  long  before  Lundy  received  an  invitation  to  assist 
in  editing  the  paper.  He  was  surprised ;  and  mistrusting  his 
own  ability,  he  hesitated.  The  invitation  being  repeated,  he 
consented  to  try.  and  soon  his  articles  appeared  regularly  on 
the  editorial  page.  He  still  plied  his  saddler's  tools  and  talked 
harness  to  his  customers ;  but  his  mind  was  ten  miles  away  in 
the  office  of  the  Philanthropist.    He  was  next  invited  to  become 


356  PEN  J  AM  IN    LUNDY 

a  partner  in  the  printing  business  and  to  come  to  Mt.  Pleasant 
and  take  charge  of  the  office.  He  decided  to  accept  the  offer, 
and  proceeded  at  once  to  close  out  the  harness-business.  He 
discharged  his  journeymen  :  and  thinking  that  the  best  market 
would  be  on  the  western  frontier,  he  took  a  load  of  finished 
articles  to  Missouri  to  sell  and  was  gone  six  months.  When  he 
reached  home,  he  took  all  the  rest  of  his  stock  and  put  it  in  a 
boat  and  started  down  the  Ohio  river,  his  apprentice  boys  ply- 
ing their  trade  in  the  boat  while  he  steered. 

In  going  up  the  Mississippi  river  against  the  current,  the 
boys  had  to  lay  aside  their  aprons  and  pull  at  the  oars.  On 
reaching  St.  Louis  he  was  unable  to  dispose  of  his  merchandise, 
for  a  financial  depression  had  swept  over  the  country.  Unwill- 
ing to  sacrifice  his  property,  he  rented  a  couple  of  rooms, 
boarded  himself  and  his  boys  and  opened  a  harness  store. 

It  was  an  unfortunate  venture;  business  stagnation  grew 
worse  and  worse.  He  stayed  one  year  hoping  in  vain  for  better 
times  and  then  sold  out  at  a  heavy  loss.  But  it  had  been  a  year 
of  excitement  and  intellectual  activity  for  Lundy.  Missouri 
was  knocking  at  the  door  for  admission  to  the  Union ;  and  the 
great  fight  was  on  as  to  whether  she  should  come  in  free  or 
slave.  Lundy  spent  every  spare  moment  he  had  in  exposing 
the  evils  of  slavery  in  numerous  original  articles  which  he  con- 
tributed to  the  newspapers  of  Missouri  and  Illinois.  Saddened 
by  defeat,  and  after  a  year's  absence  Lundy  started  for  home. 
600  miles  away,  afoot  in  the  winter  time. 

For  a  year  and  a  half  Lundy  had  directed  all  his  business 
affairs  with  the  idea  of  becoming  the  editor  of  the  Philanthro- 
pist and  of  making  it  the  medium  of  his  attack  on  slavery; 
but  during  his  absence  the  newspaper  had  changed  hands,  and 
now  the  door  is  closed  against  him  and  he  cannot  speak  his 
views  freely  through  its  columns  even  as  a  correspondent. 

Lundy  rose  to  the  occasion  grandly. 

He  decided  to  establish  a  periodical  of  his  own  and  to  do  it 
at  once,  and  he  did.  He  wrote  a  prospectus  and  had  it  printed 
and  circulated  it.  He  obtained  six  subscribers;  and  on  the 
strength  of  this  he  prepared  his  material  and  in  January.  1821. 
he  issued  No.  i  of  Volume  I.  of  The  Genius  of  Unirersal  Em- 
aiieipation. 

This  is  believed  to  have  been  the  first  newspaper  in  America, 
perhaps  in  the  world,  devoted  exclusively  or  even   mainly  to 


THE  Pttrl.ANTHROPIST.  357 

abolitionism.  It  was  a  diminutive  publication.  It  was  9^ 
inches  long  and  5^  inches  wide,  with  two  columns  of  printed 
matter  on  the  page. 

Lundy  had  moved  his  family  from  St.  Clairsville  to  Mt. 
Pleasant,  and  here  the  first  number  of  the  Genius  was  printed 
for  him  at  the  office  of  the  Philanthropist;  but  the  next  seven 
numbers  were  printed  for  him  at  Steubenville,  a  town  twenty 
miles  away.  Every  month  Lundy  walked  to  that  village  for  his 
papers  and  carried  them  home  on  his  back. 

It  was  impossible  for  this  condition  of  affairs  to  continue 
long.  But  the  Genius  of  U)iiz'ersal  Euiancipation  was  to  live. 
There  came  a  change.  Only  eight  numbers  were  published  in 
Ohio ;  the  next  numbers  were  to  be  published  in  Tennessee. 

An  anti-slavery  paper  called  the  Emancipator  had  been 
established  by  Elihu  Embree  at  Jonesborough  in  Eastern  Ten- 
nessee. Embree  died  in  a  few  months  and  his  friends  did  not 
know  how  to  dispose  of  the  office  and  its  equipments. 

Hearing  of  Lundy's  struggle  to  found  an  anti-slavery  paper, 
they  wrote  to  him  inviting  him  to  come  and  see  the  establish- 
ment with  a  view^  to  purchase.  Lundy  went  to  Jonesborough, 
a  journey  of  eight  hundred  miles,  and  examined  the  printer's 
outfit. 

Here  was  an  opportunity  to  secure  for  his  young  periodical 
a  permanent  home  where  under  one  roof  he  could  write  his 
editorials  and  do  all  his  own  work  in  composition  and  printing. 
He  rented  the  establishment,  brought  his  family  to  Jonesbor- 
ough and  dwelt  there  nearly  three  years. 

Without  ever  having  served  an  hour's  apprenticeship,  he 
took  his  place  at  the  composing  desk;  heretofore  he  had  been 
only  editor  and  proprietor,  now  he  becomes  also  typesetter  and 
printer.  Here  thirty-five  numbers  of  the  Genius,  9  to  43,  were 
published. 

It  was  impossible  to  treat  eft'ectively  of  the  evils  of  the  slave 
system  in  the  midst  of  which  he  was  living  without  stirring  up 
at  times  considerable  bad  blood.  On  one  occasion  two  slave- 
holders endeavored  to  force  him  to  retrace  certain  statements 
he  had  made  in  the  Genius.  They  invited  him  into  a  private 
room  and  then  set  upon  him  with  clubs.  He  suffered  but  he 
would  not  yield  and  was  finally  released  by  outsiders  who  heard 
the  disturbance. 

While  in  Tennessee  he  made  one  trip  to  Philadelphia,  travel- 


358  BENJAMIN   LUNDY 

ing  in  all  nearly  1,200  miles  on  horseback  in  the  winter  time,  to 
aitcnd  the  American  Convention  for  the  Abolition  of  Slavery. 
His  was  the  only  anti-slavery  paper  in  the  United  States;  and 
during  this  visit  to  the  East,  he  decided  to  remove  his  paper 
to  some  city  on  the  Atlantic  seaboard,  hoping  thereby  to  extend 
the  sphere  of  its  influence.  On  returning  to  Tennessee  he  made 
arrangements  at  once  to  transfer  the  Genius  to  the  city  of  Bal- 
timore. 

Having  disposed  of  his  printing  office  in  the  summer  of  1824, 
he  bids  farewell  to  his  wife  and  children  and  starts  afoot  for 
Jjaltimore.  But  he  does  not  take  the  direct  route.  He  visits 
kinsmen  in  southwestern  X'irginia  and  in  North  Carolina. 

This  journey  of  Lundy's  is  memorable  as  witnessing  the  in- 
auguration of  a  new  form  of  anti-slavery  work ;  1  refer  to  the 
system  of  public  lectures. 

It  was  at  the  Deep  River  Meeting  House  in  Guilford  county, 
North  Carolina,  in  the  summer  of  1824,  that  Benjamin  Lundy 
gave  the  first  public  lecture  ever  delivered  in  America  in  favor 
of  the  abolition  of  slavery.  The  meeting  house  is  near  West- 
minster post  office  and  about  four  miles  north  of  Jamestown. 

I  quote  from  Lundy's  reminiscences :  'T  shall  never  forget 
the  incidents  of  that  meeting.  It  was  held  by  the  side  of  a  fine 
spring  in  a  beautiful  shady  grove  near  the  Friends'  Meeting 
House  at  Deep  Creek,  after  the  meeting  for  worship  had  closed. 
The  audience  signified  their  approbation  by  appointing  another 
meeting  for  me  to  be  held  in  the  meeting  house  on  a  subsequent 
day.  The  second  meeting  having  been  publicly  advertised 
was  attended  by  many  persons  besides  members  of  the  Society 
of  Friends,  and  before  its  adjournment  an  anti-slavery  or  abol- 
ition society  was  organized." 

Lundy  was  overjoyed  at  his  success  and  devoted  himsef  to 
his  new  work  with  enthusiasm,  seeking  every  possible  oppor- 
tunity to  obtain  an  audience. 

Was  there  a  house  to  be  raised?  Benjamin  always  felt 
moved  to  attend  that  gathering,  and  those  who  assembled  al- 
ways had  an  opportunity  to  hear  his  anti-slavery  lecture. 

Was  there  a  muster  of  tht  lOcal  militia  on  training  day? 
Benjamin  was  sure  to  appoint  an  abolition  meeting  for  the 
same  time  and  place ;  and  in  one  instance  it  so  happened  that 
the  captain  of  the  militia  company  was  elected  president  of  the 
newly-formed  abolition  society,  with  a  Quaker  as  secretary. 


THE  PHILANTHROPIST.  359 

Among  Lundy's  converts  on  this  journey  was  an  intelligent 
and  energetic  young  man  by  the  name  of  William  Swain,  who 
conceived  a  strong  friendship  for  Lundy,  followed  him  to  Bal- 
tmiore  and  learned  the  printer's  trade  in  Lundy's  office,  work- 
ing for  six  months  on  the  Genius. 

it  was  characteristic  of  Lundy's  mission  that  so  many  of  his 
converts  did  not  merely  say,  "  Yea,  Lord,"  but  took  up  the 
work  themselves  and  became  active  propagandists.  Swain 
afterwards  returned  to  North  Carolina  and  settled  at  Green- 
boro,  where  he  published  a  newspaper  called  The  Patriot,  in 
which  he  openly  and  boldly  wrote  against  slavery. 

Another  of  his  converts  was  David  Patterson,  of  Orange 
county,  N.  C,  who  owned  eleven  slaves  and  wished  to  emanci- 
pate them ;  but  the  law  did  not  allow  slaves  to  be  set  free  unless 
they  were  removed  at  once  from  the  state.  Lundy  promised  to 
make  arrangements  for  transporting  the  slaves  to  the  island  of 
Hayti. 

He  held  about  twenty  meetings  in  North  Carolina  and  suc- 
ceeded in  organizing  a  dozen  abolition  societies ;  then  he  turned 
northward  through  \'irginia,  holding  meetings  and  establishing 
societies  as  he  traveled  until  he  reached  the  city  of  Baltimore. 

And  here  it  may  be  well  to  remark  that  the  discourses 
delivered  by  Lundy  on  these  occasions  were  ultra-orthodox  in 
anti-slavery  sentiment.  He  argued  openly  and  boldly  for  the 
emancipation  of  every  slave,  founding  his  appeals  on  the  prin- 
ciples of  Christian  humanity  and  of  civil  liberty  as  based  on 
eternal  justice. 

During  the  next  five  years  and  a  half  Lundy  delivered  anti- 
slavery  lectures  before  more  than  two  hundred  public  meetings. 
To  show  the  extent  to  which  this  lecture  system  was  afterwards 
developed  by  the  abolitionists,  I  may  state  that  in  1836  the 
American  Anti-Slavery  Society  maintained  thirteen  lecturing 
agents  constantly  in  the  field  on  salary. 

On  reaching  Baltimore  Lundy  lost  no  time  in  getting  to 
work.  He  had  no  office  and  a  very  slender  purse  .  Moreover, 
his  reception  even  by  the  professed  friends  of  emancipation  in 
the  city  was  very  cool  and  distant.  Vague  expressions  of  hope 
for  his  success  were  the  only  encouragement  he  received.  Evi- 
dently the  idea  of  having  the  mouthpiece  of  abolitionism  located 
at  their  very  doors  did  not  arouse  much  enthusiasm. 

Lundy  secured  employment  by  the  day  in  a  printing  estal?- 


360  BENJAMIN   LUNDY 

lishnient  as  type-setter,  hul  all  his  spare  moments  he  devoted  to 
Ins  own  editorial  work,  and  when  his  manuscript  was  ready  he 
liHik  il  Uj  his  emplo)cr  and  hired  him  lu  print  the  hrst  JJalti- 
niure  numher  of  the  Genius,  pacing  him  in  his  own  com. 

This  was  C cuius  Xo.  44,  dated  October,  1824;  and  in  it 
Lundy  commenced  a  series  of  articles  on  emigration  to  ilayti, 
explaining  its  advantages  and  setting  forth  the  terms  offered  by 
the  Ha}tian  government. 

These  were  followed  by  another  series  of  articles  on  the  do- 
mestic slave-trade  in  which  Lund}  brought  out  with  consider- 
able detail  the  cruel  features  of  liie  coast-wise  trade  in  slaves, 
.i'.altimore  was  the  headquarters  for  the  purchase  and  collection 
of  negroes  and  their  shipment  by  boat  to  South  Carolina  and 
Georgia. 

General  LaFa\ette,  while  traveling  through  the  United 
States,  saw  at  Baltimore  a  copy  of  The  C cuius  uf  Universal 
EnuDicipatwn  and  expressed  a  wish  to  see  the  editor.  Lundy 
having  been  sent  for,  General  LaFayette  "encouraged  him  to 
go  on  and  expressed  his  regret  at  finding  so  many  slaves  still  in 
the  country." 

We  have  seen  that  he  had  been  instrumental  in  sending  to 
Hayti  the  slaves  of  David  Patterson.  In  March,  1825,  he 
opened  at  Baltimore  a  Haytian  Office  of  Emigration,  and  was 
active  in  assisting  negroes  to  go  to  Hayti ;  a  work  in  which  he 
was  aided  by  Richard  Allen,  a  negro  Bishop  of  the  Methodist 
Church.  Among  the  shipments  from  Lundy 's  office  was  a 
colony  of  88  slaves,  valued  at  $30,000,  wdio  had  been  emancipa- 
ted by  their  owner,  David  Minge,  of  Charles  City,  \'a. 

Increased  support  enabled  Lundy  in  (  )ctober,  1825,  to  change 
the  Genius  from  a  monthly  to  a  weekl\-. 

The  relative  advantages  of  Liberia  and  Hayti  were  being  dis- 
cussed in  the  public  press  and  Lundy  w^as  anxious  to  ascertain 
by  personal  observation  the  condition  of  alYairs  in  Hayti  and 
also  to  make  definite  arrangements  with  parties  living  there  as 
tc  the  settlement  of  any  negroes  whom  he  might  thereafter 
send.  So  he  sailed  for  that  island  in  the  fall  of  1825.  and  was 
gone  five  or  six  months. 

The  Philanthropic  Society  of  Hayti  olTered  favorable  induce- 
ments and  agreed  to  advance  money  for  the  cost  of  passage. 
But  each  negro  was  to  repay  the  Society  by  working  on  a  plan- 
tation for  a  certain  length  of  time  after  his  arrival;  and  after 


THE  PHILANTHROPIST.  3^1 

ihe  expiration  of  this  apprenticeship  every  negro  man  who  had 
a  family  was  to  receive  fifteen  acres  of  land. 

( )n  the  (lav  hcfore  Liindy  sailed  for  home,  a  vessel  arrived 
which  brought  him  the  sad  tidings  of  his  wife's  death,  leaving 
two  infants  less  than  a  week  old. 

"I  returned,"  said  Lundy,  "to  Baltimore  with  a  heavy  heart. 
On  our  arrival  our  vessel  was  ordered  to  perform  quarantine, 
and  the  persons  on  board  were  forbidden  to  land  until  the  next 
day." 

"1  persuaded  the  captain,  however,  to  go  on  shore  with  me  at 
night  that  I  might  see  my  little  orphan  children.  We  rowed  a 
small  boat  several  miles  to  the  shore.  I  hastened  to  my  dwell- 
ing, but  found  it  deserted.  All  was  lone  and  dreary  within  its 
walls.  I  roused  some  of  my  neighbors,  but  they  could  tell  me 
nothing  about  my  children. 

'"I  returned  with  the  captain  before  daylight  to  the  vessel  and 
the  next  day  obtained  legal  permission  to  land.  On  further  in- 
quiry. I  found  that  my  little  ones  were  scattered  among  ni}- 
friends.  1  collected  my  children  together,  placed  them  with 
friends  in  whom  I  could  confide  and  renewed  my  vow  to  devote 
my  energies  to  the  cause  of  the  slave  until  the  nation  should  be 
effectually  roused  in  his  behalf. 

"I  relinquished  every  prospect  of  the  future  enjoyment  of  an 
earthly  home  until  that  object  should  be  accomplished." 

Lundy  resumed  his  work  on  the  Genius,  which  was  now  a 
weekly.  He  published  a  second  series  of  articles  on  Haytian 
emigration ;  and  in  a  few  weeks  he  sent  to  the  island  under  his 
arrangement  with  the  Philanthropic  Society,  a  colony  of  eman- 
cipated slaves,  Ii6  in  number. 

Those  early  abolitionists  drew  the  moral  line  pretty  straight 
when  it  came  to  questions  of  indirect  complicity  with  the  guilt 
of  slave-holding.  They  refused  to  hire  slaves  from  their 
masters ;  they  refused  to  give  out  contracts  to  those  who  would 
employ  slave-labor  in  their  performance  of  said  contracts;  and 
some  refused  even  to  employ  for  wages  those  slaves  who  hired 
themselves  from  their  masters  for  the  purpose  of  accumulating 
a  fund  to  buy  their  freedom. 

They  refused,  moreover,  to  purchase  any  article  chat  had 
been  produced  by  slave-labor,  endeavoring  thus  to  discounten- 
ance the  use  of  the  fruit  of  the  unrequited  toil  of  the  si  i\  e. 
Some  of  their  conclusions  were,  perhaps,  too  finel\-  drav,  n  U) 


362  BENJAMIN    LUNDY 

be  appreciated  by  the  general  public;  one  good  purpose,  how- 
ever, was  secured, — the  abolitionist  kept  his  own  conscience 
pure  and  untouched  by  the  hated  sin;  and  it  gave  him,  too,  an 
additional  method  of  manifesting  his  personal  hostility  to  the 
national  iniquity. 

Lundy  opened  a  free-produce  store  in  Baltimore  There  were 
at  this  time  only  two  others  in  the  United  States ;  one  at  Phil- 
adelphia and  one  at  Wilmington,  Delaware  In  these  stores 
every  article  offered  for  sale  must  be  entirely  the  product  of 
free  labor.  The  coffee,  the  spices  ,the  tropical  fruits,  the  rice, 
the  sugar  and  molasses  must  all  be  undetiled  by  the  touch  of 
a  slave.  Cotton  fabrics  were  the  hardest  to  obtain ;  but  at  last  a 
Rhode  Island  manufacturer  agreed  to  supply  such  articles  and 
held  himself  ready  to  prove  that  his  raw  material  had  been 
raised  entirely  by  free  labor. 

There  was  in  Baltimore  a  slave-trader  by  the  name  of  Austin 
Woolfolk,  notorious  for  the  heartless  brutality  with  which  he 
carried  on  his  wretched  business.  He  sent  a  gang  of  twenty- 
nine  slaves  on  a  boat  to  Georgia.  When  at  sea  the  slaves  rose 
for  their  liberty,  murdered  the  captain  and  mate,  reached  New 
York  city  and  escaped, — all  except  one  who  was  caught  and 
hung.  When  led  to  the  place  of  execution,  the  condemned 
negro,  according  to  the  custom  of  those  days,  was  allowed  to 
make  some  remarks  expressing  his  penitence.  W'oolfolk,  who 
was  present,  interrupted  the  unfortunate  man  with  oaths  and 
abusive  language  and  would  not  desist  until  compelled  to  do  so 
by  the  indignant  spectators.  An  account  of  this  disgusting 
spectacle  was  published  in  the  New  York  Christian  Inquirer; 
and  reprinted  by  Lundy  in  the  Genius. 

Soon  after  this,  Woolfolk  met  Lundy  near  the  post-office  in 
Baltimore,  caught  him  by  the  throat,  threw  him  upon  the  pave- 
ment, choked  him  until  he  was  nearly  unconscious,  and  then 
stamped  on  his  head  and  face  with  the  heel  of  his  boot.  Wool- 
folk  was  arrested  and  tried  for  assault  and  battery.  The  jury 
found  Woolfolk  guilty;  and  the  judge,  in  whose  discretion  the 
penalty  was,  sentenced  him  to  pay  a  fine  of  one  dollar.  The 
judge  said  from  the  bench  that  Lundy  got  nothing  more  than 
he  deserved,  and  he  took  the  copy  of  the  Genius  containing  the 
objectionable  article  and  sent  it  to  the  grand  jury  charging 
them  to  indict  Lundy  for  libel,  which  they  refused  to  do. 

(Jn  May  i,  1828,  Lundy  started  from  Baltimore  on  a  trip 


THE  PHILANTHROPIST.  3^3 

through  the  Middle  and  New  England  States.  His  object  was 
to  secure  subscribers  for  the  Genius  and  to  arouse  a  more  gen- 
eral interest  in  the  cause  of  emancipation  by  a  series  of  public 
lectures.  The  journey  was  performed  almost  entirely  on  foot, 
with  the  exception  of  a  short  sea- voyage.  I  will  first  indicate 
his  line  of  travel  and  then  describe  some  of  the  incidents  of 
the  tour. 

He  passed  through  Philadelphia,  through  Burlington  and 
Rancocas,  N.  J.;  Westchester  and  New  Rochelle,  N.  Y. ; 
Bridgeport,  New  Haven,  Hartford,  Brooklyn  and  Norwich, 
Conn. ;  Newport  and  Providence,  R.  I. ;  New  Bedford  and 
Nantucket,  Mass.,  whence  he  sailed  for  Portland,  Me.  Turning- 
southward  he  passed  through  Portsmouth,  N.  H.,  and  New- 
buryport,  Andover,  Salem,  and  Lynn  to  Boston.  He  visited 
Charleston  and  Brighton.  He  passed  westward  through  Wor- 
cester, Leicester,  Springfield  and  Northampton  in  Mass.  From 
Albany  he  crossed  New  York  State  by  way  of  Lockport  to 
Niagara  Falls  and  returned  through  Utica  to  Albany  and 
Poughkeepsie,  and  then  south  to  Baltimore. 

He  reached  home  on  October  25,  having  been  absent  six 
months  lacking  six  days,  and  having  held  forty-three  public 
meetings,  generally  in  town  halls,  court  houses,  college  build- 
ings or  churches. 

At  Philadelphia  he  found  a  Free  Produce  Store,  but  it  had 
only  a  few  customers ;  so  he  called  a  public  meeting  to  encour- 
age the  use  of  free-labor  products,  the  first  meeting  of  this  kind 
ever  held  in  the  United  States. 

I  will  quote  a  few  passages  from  his  journal. 

"June  II.  I  had  a  good-sized  meeting  at  Norwich,  Conn., 
but  it  was  only  attended  by  men.  The  people  here  are  all  too 
politic  and  will  do  nothing  for  our  cause." 

"June  16.  Attended  Friends'  Yearly  Meeting  at  Newport, 
R.  L,  and  on  the  20th  held  at  that  place  my  twelfth  anti-slavery 
lecture.  It  was  attended  by  few,  and  they  were  all  men.  Sec- 
tarianism nearly  closed  up  my  way  here,  I  being  but  a  moder- 
ate Quaker."  , 

"Aug.  I.  I  am  making  arrangements  for  a  meeting  in  Bos- 
ton, which  are  .embarrassed  by  there  being  too  many  other 
meetings,  as  negroes  are,  everywhere  and  always,  the  last  to 
be  thought  of  or  noticed." 

"Aug.  20.     Saw  this  morning  a  cotton  factory  at  New  Ro- 


364  BENJAMIN  LUNDY 

clullc.  near  wliich  were  fifteen  or  twenty  boys  from  eight  to 
fourteen  years  of  age,  all  at  play,  hopping  and  jumping.  They 
went  to  work  at  the  ringing  of  the  factory  bell.  This  is  the  way 
the  Yankees  get  rich : — no  idlers  out  of  the  cradle." 

"Aug.  22.  1  walked  from  Leicester  to  Springfield,  a  dis- 
tance of  45  miles,  being  the  greatest  walk  I  have  accomplished 
in  a  single  day." 

"On  the  25th  1  arrived  at  Northampton,  after  9  o'clock  in  the 
evening,  and  called  at  three  taverns  before  I  could  get  lodgings 
or  polite  treatment." 

"Sept.  6.  At  Alban}-  1  made  some  acquaintances.  Philan- 
thropists are  the  slowest  creatures  breathing.  They  think 
forty  times  before  they  act." 

I  have  reserved  one  incident  of  his  visit  to  Boston  on  this 
trip  to  relate  more  at  large.  On  reaching  Boston  Lundy  had 
made  diligent  incjuiry  for  abolitionists,  desiring  to  fellowship 
with  them  and  to  plan  with  them  for  active  work ;  but,  strange 
as  it  may  seem,  he  did  not  find  a  single  abolitionist  in  the 
metropolis  of  Xew  England.  He  had  to  begin  his  work  single- 
handed  and  alone. 

i  cannot  forego  rementioning  the  fact  that  Lundy,  wdiose 
footsteps  we  are  now  following  as  he  blazes  a  path  for  freedom 
over  the  Puritan  hills,  was  a  native  and  a  citizen  of  the  Middle 
States. 

He  went  to  Boston  as  the  setter  forth  of  a  new  doctrine ;  and, 
like  Paul  at  Athens,  he  began  his  disputation  with  devout  per- 
sons. He  invited  the  ministers  of  the  various  denominations 
to  a  conference  in  the  i)arlor  of  his  boarding-house.  Eight 
appeared,  and  he  gave  them  an  informal  talk.  Some  of  the 
boarders  being  in  the  room  were  involuntary  listeners.  Among 
them  was  William  Lloyd  Garrison.  Lundy  was  the  editor  of 
the  Genius  of  Universal  Entaneipation.  the  first  abolition  jour- 
nal in  the  world;  (iarrison  was  the  editor  of  the  Xational  Phil- 
ciiifhrof'ist.  the  first  total  abstinence  newspaper  in  the  w-orld. 

It  was  not  at  all  picturesque,  this  accidental  meeting  in  a 
second-class  boarding-house  of  Lundy  and  Garrison,  the  deaf 
Quaker  and  the  near-sighted  Baptist ;  but  it  had  in  it  elements 
of  a  deeper  and  more  permanent  influence  for  the  uplifting  of 
mankind  than  many  a  historical  scene  that  has  been  pencilled 
into  fame  by  the  skill  of  artists. 

-In  Garrison's  heart  Lundy's  words    fell    as    seed    in    good 


THE  PHir-ANTHROPIST.  365 

soil.  Toward  the  close  of  this  private  conference  when  the 
subject  of  emancipation  was  npvn  for  general  discussion,  Ciar- 
rison  came  across  the  room  and  took  part  in  the  conversation, 
expressing-  openly  his  approbation  of  Lundy's  doctrine.  Gar- 
rison was  aroused  ;  and,  as  he  pondered  on  the  matter,  there 
dawned  on  his  mind  the  justice,  greatness  and  holiness  of  this 
new  reform. 

Garrison  w^as  Lundy's  convert. 

He  had  at  this  first  meeting  cheered  Lundy's  heart  by  his 
words ;  he  soon  placed  himself  on  record  by  contributing  an 
article  on  the  subject  to  one  of  the  daily  papers.  Little  need  to 
speak  of  Garrison  and  his  Liberator.  The  history  of  abolition- 
ism shows  us  two  firebrands  ;  one  was  Garrison,  the  other  was 
John  Brown. 

"In  the  course  of  a  few  days  afterwards,"  says  Lundy,  "we 
had  a  public  meeting,  which  was  attended  by  most  of  the  eight 
clergymen,  together  with  a  large  audience.  After  I  had  finish- 
ed my  lecture  several  clergymen  addressed  the  meeting.  They 
concurred  in  my  views,  except  one  of  them  who  said  something 
a  little  like  opposition.  I  forthwith  challenged  him  to  a  public 
debate  on  the  spot,  wdiich  he  declined." 

Lundy  hurried  home  by  way  of  Niagara  Falls  to  attend  the 
meetings  of  the  American  Convention  for  the  Abolition  of 
Slaverv.  Its  sessions  covered  a  period  of  four  days,  November 
3-6,  1828. 

November  lo,  1828.  Lundy  has  been  at  home  two  weeks 
and  two  days. 

November  11.  He  is  ofif  on  his  travels  again,  this  time  for 
Vermont,  his  second  trip  to  New  England.  He  starts  early  and 
afoot. 

I  have  here  the  original  memoranda  of  Benjamin  Lundy's 
journey  to  Bennington,  Vermont;  it  is  in  the  rough,  being 
written  on  coarse  yellow  paper ;  but  about  old  documents  there 
is  always  a  certain  flavor  that  T  like. 

It  is  evident  that  some  person  had  sketched  on  this  pa])er  a 
map  of  the  country  west  of  Baltimore  through  which 
Lundv  intended  to  pass,  indicating  the  dwelling-houses,  vil- 
lages, streams  and  roads  ;  and  below  the  map  this  friend  had 
given  some  directions. 

Here  vou  see  the  map  itself  and  the  directions  written  below 
it.

"When  you  get  to  New  ^Market,  you  had  better  enquire  the 
shortest  road  to  Smith's.  &  also  if  it  is  tlie  same  Smith  you

will  give  you  every  assistance  and  direction  in  their  power. 

"On  your  way  to  Pipe  Creek  you  will  pass  through  Frederick 
to  Liberty  where  \ou  will  call  on  Alex.  Lindley  and  perhaps

come  to  llaltiniore  and  join  him  in  editini^-  the  (Jcniits.  I!nl 
(larrison  was  at  that  time  ])nl)Iishini4-  a  newspaper  of  his  own 
and  conld  not  come:  so  that  Lundy's  trij)  was  a  fruitless  one 
for  the  time  hein^',  so  far  as  his  main  object  was  concerned. 

in  the  s])rin^-  of  iH2y)  Lundy  found  it  necessary  to  visit  Mayti 
again.  It  was  now  o\'er  tliree  \ears  since  lie  had  been  there 
and  man}-  changes  had  taken  place  on  the  island.  He  took 
with  him  a  small  colony  of  emancipated  slaves  and  obtained 
for  them,  on  easy  terms  for  a  period  of  nine  years,  leases  of 
rich  land  already  cleared.  On  his  return  he  announced  that  he 
had  completed  arrangements  whereby  any  negroes  wdio  might 
wish  to  get  to  Hayti  could  obtain  leases  of  plantations  w'ith 
])uildings  on  them  for  seven  years,  the  first  two  years  free  of 
charge  and  the  remaining  five  at  a  moderate  rent. 

In  the  Genius  for  Se{)tember,  1829,  Lundy  announces  that 
Garrison  had  come  to  Baltimore  and  was  now  his  associate  in 
ihe  editorshi]).  The  ])aper  assumed  at  once  a  strong  political 
cast,  o])posing  Jackson  and  favoring  Clay:  Lundy  felt  that 
way,  but  the  expression  of  such  views  in  the  Genius  was  large- 
ly the  work  of  Garrison.  There  was  a  falling  away  of  sub- 
scribers; the  reason  for  this  was  that  the  question  of  emanci- 
I'ation  was  beginning  to  get  mixed  u])  with  sectarianism  and 
politics.  "We  are  resolved,"  wrote  Lundy  in  the  Genius,  "to 
have  nothing  to  do  with  sectarian  or  party  disputation,  in  our 
public  proceeding,  unless  the  question  of  slavery  should  appear 
to  be  involved  in  it:  yet  we  are  grieved  to  sec  .  in  mtmerous 
instances,  old  and  faithful  labourers  in  that  sacred  cause,  aban- 
doning it,  simpl\-  because  others  are  actively  engaged  in  ])ro- 
moting  it.  with  whom  they  differ  in  some  religious  or  political 
tenet 

"Now  this  is  a  (le])lorable  state  of  things.  Tt  is  like  a  ci-.il 
war  ill  a  iiiilitar\  camp,  when  a  dangerous  enemy  is  forcing 
the  gates.  It  is  lilce  a  famil\  (unrrel  in  which  the  inmates  tf 
a  house  are  engaged,  while  it  is  burning  over  their  heads." 

A  vessel  owned  by  ATr.  Todd,  of  Newburyport.  Mass..  came 
to  Baltimore  and  took  on  a  cargo  of  slaves  to  be  sold  in  New- 
Orleans,     r^iarrison  denounced   this  transaction,  branded   it  a.': 


THE  PHILANTHROPIST.  369 

an  act  of  domestic  piracy,  and  declared  that  he  would  cover  all 
the  perpetrators  with  thick  infamy.  Garrison  was  arrested  for 
libel,  tried  and  convicted,  fined  fifty  dollars  and  costs,  and 
thrown  in  prison.  Lundy,  who  had  been  absent  on  a  lecture 
tour,  returned  to  Baltimore  and  then  hurried  to  New  York 
City  to  obtain  money  to  release  Garrison ;  but  on  returning  to 
Baltimore,  Lundy  himself  as  co-editor,  was  arrested  and  im- 
prisoned for  a  few  days. 

The  partnership  between  Lundy  and  Garrison  was  dissolved 
on  March  5,  1830,  having  lasted  just  six  months. 

In  resuming  entire  control  of  the  paper,  Lundy  announced 
that  the  Genius  "wull  hereafter  treat  exclusively  upon  the  sub- 
ject of  emancipation." 

Reformers  have  their  dark  hours:  and  Lundy's  were  very 
many  and  very  dark.  The  income  from  subscriptions  was  so 
pitifully  small  that  he  was  compelled  to  reduce  the  Genius  to  a 
monthl}'.  Lundy  himself  was  driven  from  Baltimore  by  the 
malignant  spirit  of  tyranny.  He  removed  the  Genius  to  Wash- 
ington, and  made  that  city  the  nominal  ofiice  of  publication. 

There  was  a  greater  necessity  than  ever  for  Lundy  to  travel 
and  collect  dues  and  secure  new  subscribers ;  so  he  would  en- 
gage the  services  of  some  friend  of  the  cause  to  manage  the 
Genius  during  the  time  he  expected  to  be  absent.  After  his 
departure  two  or  three  numbers  of  the  paper  would  appear  and 
then  the  temporary  editor  would  suspend  publication  for  lack 
of  funds.  Learning  of  this,  Lundy  would  himself  preparf^ 
manuscript  on  the  road,  and  have  the  next  number  printed  at 
whatever  town  he  happened  to  be.  He  never  had  any  trouble 
to  secure  the  use  of  a  local  printing  press,  it  generally  stand- 
ing idle  several  days  a  week ;  as  to  type  it  was  different,  so  he 
found  it  best  to  carry  with  him  a  quantity  of  his  own. 

There  were  two  circumstances  that  threw  additional  difficul- 
ties in  Lundy's  way:  the  establishment  of  the  Liberator  in 
Massachusetts  and  Nat  Turner's  insurrection  in  Virginia. 

Garrison  started  an  abolition  paper  of  his  own  at  Boston  of 
a  very  radical  type,  called  the  Liberator.  Lundy  welcomed  the 
Liber-ator  kindly:  but  nevertheless  it  was  a  financial  rival. 

On  the  first  Sunday  of  August,  1831,  an  insurrection  of 
slaves  broke  out  in  Southampton  county.  Virginia.  Nat  Tur- 
ner, a  negro  preacher  and  slave,  murdered  his  master,  and  then 
with  fiftv  followers  rushed  on   from  plantation  to  plantation 


370  '  BENJAMIN   LUNDY 

killing  men.  women  and  ehildren,  sixty-tliree  victims  in  all ;  but 
they  were  s(X)n  overtaken  and  captured,  and  most  of  them  put 
to  death. 

This  outbreak  was  fatal  to  the  abolition  societies  of  the 
South ;  they  collapsed  like  bubbles ;  and  this  in  turn  was  a  hard 
blow  to  the  Genius,  many  of  whose  subscribers  resided  in  that 
section. 

I  will  read  a  note  of  comfort  received  b)-  Lundy  during  this 
trying  period  from  Whittier.  the  poet  of  abolitionism. 
Dear  Friend  : 

By  favor  of  our  mutual  friend,  J.  Well,  I  drop  thee  a  line 
to  let  thee  know  I  have  not  ff)rgotten  thee  and  that  it  was  with 
no  small  degree  of  pleasure  that  I  rec'd  the  last  number  of  The 
Genius. 

At  this  time  when  some  of  our  early  friends  are  turning  aside 
after  other  objects,  I  rejoice  to  know  that  the  "pioneer  editor" 
of  abolitionism  is  still  resolved  to  keep  his  eye  single  to  the 
great  object — the  emancipation  of  the  slave.  Our  Yearly 
Meeting  is  just  over — the  subject  of  slavery  had  a  weighty  and 
deep  consideration. 

It  was  said  to  be  like  one  of  our  Yearly  Meetings  when  Jacob 
Lindley  and  Warner  Mififlin  were  moved  to  speak  out  for  the 
bondman.     Farewell.    May  God  bless  and  preserve  thee. 
Ever  and  truly  thy  friend, 

Jno.  G.  Whittier. 

January,  1832.  Lundy  is  of?  on  his  travels  again,  this  time 
to  Canada.     Now  why  to  Canada^ 

The  black  population  of  Canada  consisted  of  a  few  slaves  im- 
ported directly  from  Africa ;  of  some  runaway  slaves  from  the 
Southern  States ;  and  of  many  free  negroes  from  the  Northern 
States,  who  had  left  their  homes  through  fear  of  being  kid- 
napped and  sold  South,  or  who  had  fled  panic-stricken  at  the 
enactment  of  laws  requiring  them  to  file  freedom-papers,  which 
they  did  not  possess. 

As  early  as  1803.  Ohio  had  passed  a  law  forbidding  negroes 
to  settle  in  the  State  unless  they  filed  in  a  public  office  their  cer- 
tificate of  freedom  ;  this  was  known  as  the  "black  law."  In 
1828  this  old  law  was  dug  up,  and  the  attempt  to  enforce  it 
caused  a  sudden  exodus  of  several  thousand  negroes  to  Canada. 

The  negroes  of  Canada  did  not  live  scattered  here  and  there 
all  over  the  country  ;  but  they  had  gathered  themselves  into  col- 


THE  PHILANTHROPIST.  371 

onies.  They  would  locate  in  a  forest  along  some  lonely  wood- 
road  and  put  up  cabins  and  form  a  community  by  themselves. 
Some  of  these  communities  included  five  or  six  hundred  indi- 
viduals. 

What  was  the  condition  of  these  settlements?  and  what  ad- 
vantages did  Canada  offer  as  an  asylum  for  emancipated 
slaves?  Lundy  wished  to  base  his  opinion  on  facts  gathered 
from  personal  observation  ;  and  so  he  made  a  journey  through. 
Canada  in  January,  1832.  He  visited  the  Wilberforce  colony 
consisting  of  about  thirty  families  on  the  Au-Sable  river,  twelve 
miles  west  of  London  ;  it  was  a  new  settlement  and  had  been 
the  rendezvous  of  2.000  refugees  who  had  soon  passed  on  seek- 
ing homes  in  other  parts.  The  permanent  settlers  were  sober, 
industrious  and  thrifty,  and  maintained  two  churches  and  two 
schools. 

He  considered  Canada  an  excellent  place  for  the  settlement 
of  negroes  who  had  lived  north  of  the  34th  parallel ;  but  the  soil 
and  climate  were  not  suited  to  the  cultivation  of  cane,  rice  and 
cotton, — the  great  crops  raised  by  negro  labor. 

One  afternoon  while  he  was  traveling  on  foot  through  a  thin- 
1}  populated  section  of  Canada,  he  came  to  a  stream  with  a 
strong  deep  current,  the  footlog  over  which  was  partly  dis- 
lodged. He  walked  part  way  across  on  the  log  and  then  step- 
ped to  the  trunk  of  a  fallen  tree ;  but  the  tree  turned  and  threw 
him  into  the  water.  He  nearly  perished ;  he  climbed  out  and 
walked  on,  but  soon  sank  down  exhausted  and  became  so  cold 
that  he  had  to  crawl  a  long  distance  on  his  hands  and  knees 
through  the  snow  to  the  next  hut. 

Almost  all  the  anti-slavery  men  admitted  sorrowfully  that 
slavery  was  profitable  to  the  master.  Lundy  held  to  the  con- 
trary, he  believed  that  slavery  was  unprofitable,  that  it  was  a 
poor  policy  financially  for  a  community.  He  believed  that  the 
planters  of  the  South  would  clear  more  money  every  year  if 
they  would  set  their  slaves  free  and  hire  them  as  free  laborers. 
Talking  with  the  planters,  he  asked  them,  How  much  net 
profit  do  you  get  oft'  of  a  field-slave  in  a  year?  and  they  said. 
Each  slave  clears  us  about  $100  a  year.  Lundy  said.  Emanci- 
pate them  and  you  will  clear  more;  and  their  reply  was.  You 
prove  that  and  we  will  emancipate  them. 

Many  said,  also,  that  the  negroes  were  incapable  of  existing 
as  a  law-abiding  body  of  free  laborers.     This  was  asserted  so 


372  BENJAMIN    LUNDY 

emphatically  and  repeated  so  often  that  it  became  a  great 
obstacle  in  the  \va\  of  emancipation.  Lnndy  believed  that  the 
one  thing-  needful  for  the  furilu-r  advancement  of  the  aboli- 
tion cause  was  a  demonstration  to  the  world  that  the  negro 
was  capable  of  self-government  and  could  prosper  as  a  free 
laborer. 

Remember  that  Lundy  never  dreanie<l  of  an  emancipation 
backed  by  the  sword ;  he  was  opposed  to  violence  and  war ;  his 
appeal  was  solely  to  the  reason  and  the  conscience.  His  hope 
was  to  win  the  masters  themselves.  Therefore  he  proposed  to 
establish  a  colon}-  of  negroes  beyond  the  borders  of  the  United 
States,  with  the  ultimate  object  of  thus  securing  emancipation 
on  the  soil  of  all  the  slaves  who  remained  at  home  in  the  United 
States.  His  was  not  a  money-making  scheme;  his  was  an  ar- 
gument-making scheme.     Lundy's  idea  was  unique. 

Colonies  had  been  planted  in  Africa  for  the  good  of  Africa ; 
and  colonies  had  been  planted  in  other  places  for  the  purpose  of 
getting  all  the  free  negroes  out  of  the  United  States.  Why  not 
plant  a  colony  for  the  purpose  of  universal  emancipation? 

Lundy  was  a  man  of  action ;  he  was  not  content  to  sit  in  the 
editorial  chair  and  preach  this  idea  to  others ;  he  began  to  carry 
the  plan  into  effect  himself ;  he  would  prove  by  experiment  that 
the  American  negro  could  prosper  as  a  free  laborer. 

Inspired  by  this  noble  and  far-reaching  hope,  and  knowing 
that  the  strength  of  slavery  was  in  the  cultivation  of  cotton, 
rice  and  sugar,  Lundy  made  three  journeys  to  Mexico,  suffer- 
ing great  hardships  and  encountering  many  dangers  in  his 
efforts  to  obtain  from  the  Mexican  authorities  permission  to 
plant  his  colony  in  that  semi-tropical  land. 

Texas  was  rapidly  becoming  the  storm  center  of  political 
passions ;  it  was  swarming  with  land  speculators,  and  under- 
neath all  the  turmoil  was  the  burning  slave  question.  One 
President  of  Mexico  had  issued  a  proclamation  freeing  all 
slaves  at  once,  but  that  President  was  arrested  and  put  to 
death  :  another  President  had  modified  the  proclamation  and 
restored  slavery  in  Texas.  Many  of  the  new  settlers  in  Texas 
had  come  from  the  United  States  and  were  rank  slavery  men 
at  heart,  especially  Austin's  colony.  The  aggressiveness  of 
this  faction  boded  ill  for  Mexico. 

Going  to  New  Orleans  and  thence  ascending  the  Red  River 
Lundv  struck  across  the  wilderness,  afoot  and  alone,  carrying 


THE  PHILANTHROPIST.  373 

a  knapsack.  After  a  journey  of  one  hundred  and  sixty  miles, 
he  reached  Nacogdoches  on  July  i,  1832.  He  immediately 
drew  up  a  petition  addressed  to  the  proper  state  officers  asking 
for  a  tract  of  land  whereon  he  might  plant  a  colony.  He  left 
this  petition  in  the  hands  of  true  men  to  be  forwarded  to  Mon- 
clova,  the  capital  of  the  State  of  Coahuila.  Leaving  Nacog- 
doches on  July  7,  he  descended  the  Red  River;  ascending  the 
Mississippi,  he  returned  to  Philadelphia.  Lundy  remained  at 
home  about  five  months. 

In  April,  1833,  he  started  on  his  second  trip  to  Mexico;  on 
May  5th  he  had  reached  Cincinnati.  While  floating  down  the 
Ohio  and  the  Mississippi  on  a  freight  boat,  he  studied  the 
Spanish  language  and  argued  with  his  fellow  passengers  con- 
cerning the  rights  of  man.  When  the  boat  stopped  at  a  wharf 
a  few  hours  to  take  on  freight,  he  enquired  after  prospective 
colonists ;  when  the  boat  stopped  at  a  town  over  night,  he  held 
a  public  meeting. 

Having  taken  passage  from  New  Orleans  in  the  schooner 
Wild-Cat,  he  disembarked  in  Texas  at  the  mouth  of  the  Brazos 
River,  traveled  up  that  stream  for  several  days,  and  then  struck 
overland  for  Monclova  on  the  Rio  Grande  three  hundred  miles 
to  the  westward. 

"I  prepared,"  says  he,  "to  camp  out  by  providing  myself 
with  a  pocket  pistol  and  ammunition.  I  set  out  before  daylight. 
The  grass  was  so  dewy  that  I  had  occasion  to  stop  three  times 
before  breakfast  to  pour  the  water  from  my  shoes  and  wring  out 
my  stockings.  When  night  came  on  I  lay  down  in  the  grass 
by  the  roadside,  my  knapsack  serving  for  a  pillow  and  my 
small  thin  cloak  for  sheets  and  counterpane,  while  my  hat,  my 
staff  and  my  pistol  lay  at  arm's  length  from  my  person." 

We  see  him  at  one  time  camping  with  a  band  of  Indians ; 
and  at  another  wandering  alone  through  an  arid  region  and 
almost  perishing  for  lack  of  water  to  drink.  The  cholera  is 
raging ;  and  some  of  the  larger  towns  through  which  he  passed 
had  lost  one-tenth  of  their  inhabitants  by  the  scourge.  He  him- 
self is  stricken  down  several  times  by  symptoms  of  the  dread 
disease.  His  money  gives  out  and  he  is  compelled  to  sell  his 
watch  and  some  of  his  clothing. 

On  entering  a  village  he  rents  a  room  and  supports  himself 
by  repairing  shoes  and  harness,  and  by  making  suspenders  and 
other  articles  from  panther  and  deer  skins.     An  entry  in  his 


374  BENJAMIN   LUNDY 

journal  says:  "I  have  sold  to-day  a  shot-bag'  and  a  pair  of  sus- 
penders for  $1  each.     Thus  I  am  (|uite  in  funds  again." 

Reaching  Monclova,  the  capital  of  Coahuila,  he  calls  on 
the  Secretary  of  State  and  explains  his  plan.  He  draws  up  a 
petition,  has  it  translated  into  Spanish,  and  visits  the  Governor. 
He  is  looked  upon  at  first  as  a  Texas  schemer,  one  of  Austin's 
roarers. 

He  is  now  confronted  by  a  legal  difficulty.  The  Mexican 
Congress  had  recently  passed  a  law  prohibiting  persons  from 
the  I'nited  States  from  holding  land  in  the  Mexican  Republic. 
( )ne  ray  of  hope  appears  ;  the  news  comes  that  one  branch  of 
the  Mexican  Congress  had  passed  a  bill  to  rei)eal  that  law  of 
1830.  Lundy  waits  and  becomes  acquainted  with  some  land 
.^peculators.  They  wish  him  to  bear  witness  to  their  good 
standing  morally,  socially  and  tinancially.  lUit  Lundy  was 
cautious.  Then  they  endeavored  to  persuade  him  to  employ 
them  as  agents  in  securing  his  grant  of  land.  Bui  Lundy  did 
not  fall  into  that  scheme.  Then  they  turned  on  him  openly  ; 
they  declared  that  he  was  not  the  person  that  he  represented 
himself  to  be ;  that  he  was  not  the  prominent  anti-slavery  editor 
but  an  out  and  out  impostor.  Slowly  it  dawned  on  Lundy's 
mind  that  land  speculators,  at  least  the  Texan  variety,  were  an 
interesting  class  of  rascals. 

He  waited  a  month,  and  on  December  8th  official  news  is 
received  that  the  Mexican  Congress  has  repealed  the  law  of 
1830,  the  appeal  to  take  efifect  six  months  hence.  The  Gov- 
ernor says  he  can  not  act  now,  not  until  the  six  months  have 
expired.  However,  he  pleflges  his  word  that  Lundy  shall  have 
the  first  grant  when  the  time  limit  is  up.  Lundy  finds  it  neces- 
sary to  return  to  the  United  States ;  and  in  order  to  make  as- 
surance doubly  sure,  he  concludes  an  agreement  with  a  friend 
of  his  to  take  out  two  grants  of  land  for  him  ;  his  friend  being 
a  British  subject  and  hence  not  within  the  statute. 

He  started  for  home  on  January  23,  1834,  and  going  to 
.Matamoras  took  a  boat  for  New  Orleans.  Several  passengers 
died  of  cholera.  The  only  ship  they  met  flying  the  Stars  and 
Stripes  was  one  carrying  a  cargo  of  slaves. 

On  reaching  Cincinnati  the  students  of  Lane  Seminary,  an 
institution  at  which  the  conflict  between  colonization  and  eman- 
cipation was  especially  bitter,  arranged  a  meeting  for  him  at 
which  he  explained  the  radical  dififerences  between  his  plan  of 


THE  PHILANTHROPIST.  375 

negro  settlement  and  the  aims  and  operations  of  the  Coloniza- 
tion Society. 

He  had  been  absent  just  one  year  on  his  trip  to  Mexico.  The 
6ole  purpose  of  his  flying  visit  home  at  this  time  was  to  secure 
funds  to  be  used  in  obtaining  his  grant  of  land,  but  in  this  he 
was  only  partially  successful. 

At  the  end  of  three  weeks,  with  scant  and  inadequate  re- 
sources, he  set  out  on  his  third  and  last  trip  to  Mexico.  The 
yellow  fever  was  raging  in  the  southwest  but  he  never  hesita- 
ted. He  went  up  the  Red  River  and  then  crossed  Texas,  travel- 
ing at  first  on  foot  but  afterwards  securing  an  Indian  pony. 
On  reaching.  Monclova  he  w^as  informed  that  the  State  Legis- 
lature of  Coahuila  had  passed  a  law  against  the  citizens  of  the 
United  States,  estopping  them  from  buying  land  within  her 
boundaries,  including  her  territory  of  Texas.  This  ended  all 
hope  of  obtaining  a  grant  in  those  places. 

Lundy  determined,  therefore,  to  apply  to  the  neighboring 
state  of  Tamaulipas.  Having  been  assured  by  Colonel  Almonte 
that  land  could  be  obtained  without  going  to  Victoria,  the  cap- 
ital, he  journeyed  four  hundred  miles  eastward  to  the  seacoast 
and  arrived  at  Matamoras  penniless,  where  he  rented  a  house, 
opened  a  saddler's  shop  and  remained  three  months  waiting  in 
vain  for  the  Governor  of  Tamaulipas  to  visit  the  city.  Finding 
that  he  must  go  to  the  capital,  he  works  every  day  and  almost 
every  night,  borrows  thirty-five  dollars,  mounts  his  pony  and 
starts  for  Victoria,  250  miles  to  the  southwest. 

Here,  after  a  number  of  vexatious  delays,  he  obtained  from 
the  governor  the  long-sought-for  grant  of  land.  It  was  for 
138,000  acres.  He  agreed  to  introduce  250  settlers  and  their 
families,  but  he  could  not  select  the  land  and  have  it  surveyed 
until  he  brought  some  of  his  settlers ;  so  he  hurried  home, 
traveling,  by  boat  and  reaching  Nashville  on  May  4,  1835, 
having  been  absent  one  year  on  this  his  third  and  last  trip  tr 
Mexico. 

He  prepared  handbills  setting  forth  the  advantages  of 
Lundy's  Grant  in  Tamaulipas,  printed  a  private  letter,  to  his 
friends,  and  published  in  the  Western  Methodist  an  address  on 
his  Mexican  Plan. 

The  first  name  entered  on  his  list  of  colonists  was  that  of 
R.  P.  Graham,  of  Nashville,  a  man  possessing  property  worth 
ten  thousand  dollars.     Andrew  Donelson,  a  brother-in-law  of 


376  BENJAMIN   LUNDY 

President  Jackson,  dietl  and  left  twenty-one  slaves  to  be  freed, 
but  the  court  decided  that  the  will  could  not  be  held  valid  as 
to  the  emancipation  of  slaves  unless  they  were  removed  from 
the  United  States;  so  Lundy,  at  the  request  of  the  slaves  and 
with  ihc  consent  of  Stokely  Donelson,  the  executor,  applied  to 
the  court  to  be  allowed  to  take  them  to  his  colony.  A  southern 
philanthropist  was  preparing  to  liberate  100  slaves  and  a  large 
number  of  these  had  expressed  a  wish  to  go  with  Lundy  to 
Mexico.    These  serve  to  illustrate  the  character  of  the  colonists. 

Lundy  issued  a  pamphlet  of  16  pages,  the  title  page  readini^ 
a;-  follows:  "A  circular  addressed  to  Agriculturists,  Manufac- 
turers, Mechanics,  &c.,  on  the  subject  of  Mexican  Coloniza-tfon, 
with  a  General  Statement  respecting  Lundy's  Grant  in  the  State 
of  Tamaulipas,  accompanied  by  a  Geographical  Descrijnion, 
&c.,  of  that  interesting  portion  of  the  Mexican  Republic." 

He  appointed  Philadelphia  as  the  place  and  February,  1836, 
as  the  time  for  the  sailing  of  the  first  expedition. 

But  a  crisis  was  rapidly  approaching  in  Mexican  affairs.  In- 
surrection developed  into  revolution,  and  the  government  of 
Texas,  founded  on  slavery  and  christened  a  republic,  received 
a  baptism  of  blood. 

Amid  the  clash  of  arms,  Lundy's  expedition  was  postponed 
and  finally  entirely  abandoned  to  the  intense  disappointment  of 
its  originator. 

Lundy  was  now  one  of  the  best  informed  men  in  the  country 
as  to  the  true  condition  of  affairs  in  Texas  and  Mexico.  He 
furnished  John  Quincy  Adams,  both  by  letters  and  by  personal 
interviews,  with  much  valuable  material  used  by  Adams  in  his 
public  debates  in  the  House  of  Representatives. 

He  brought  out  in  1835  a  pamphlet  of  32  pages,  entitled  "The 
Origin  and  True  Cause  of  the  Texan  Insurrection."  In  May, 
1836,  he  printed  another  pamplilet  of  56  pages,  entitled  "The 
War  in  Texas,  a  review  of  facts  and  circumstances  showing 
that  this  contest  is  the  Result  of  a  long-premeditated  crusade 
against  the  government  set  on  foot  by  slaveholders,  land-specu- 
lators, &c.,  with  a  view  of  reestablishing,  extending  and  per- 
petuating the  system  of  slavery  and  the  slave-trade  in  the  Re- 
])ul)lic  of  Mexico.     i!y  a  Citizen  of  the  United  States." 

In  this  pamphlet  is  found  that  remarkable  passage  predicting 
the  Southern  Confederacy,  and  expressed  by  Lundy  in  these 
words :  "Our  countrymen,  in  fighting  for  the  union  of  Texas 


THE  PHILANTHROPIST.  377 

with  the  United  States,  will  he  lighting-  for  that  which  at  no 
distant  period  will  inevitably  dissolve  the  Union.  The  slave 
states,  having  the  eligible  addition  to  their  land  of  bondage, 
will  ere  long  cut  astmder  the  federal  tie,  and  confederate  a  new 
and  distinct  slaveholding  republic  in  opposition  to  the  whole 
free  republic  of  the  north.  Thus  early  will  be  fulfilled  the  pre- 
diction of  the  old  politicians  of  Europe  that  our  Union  could 
not  remain  one  century  entire;  and  then  also  will  the  maxim 
be  exemplified  in  our  history  that  liberty  and  slavery  can  not 
long  inhabit  the  same  soil." 

During  the  winter  of  1835-6,  Lundy  contributed  a  series  of 
articles  on  Texas  and  Mexico  to  the  columns  of  the  National 
Gazette  of  Philadelphia.  On  x\ugust  3,  1836,  he  commenced 
a  new  anti-slavery  paper  at  Philadelphia ;  it  was  a  weekly  called 
the  National  Enquirer.  He  also  published  the  Genius  every 
month.  He  issued  both  papers  as  sole  proprietor  regularly  until 
the  third  week  in  March,  1837,  on  which  date  he  entered  into  an 
agreement  with  the  Pennsylvania  Anti-Slavery  Society  whereby 
the  Society  assumed  the  financial  responsibility  for  the  publica- 
tion of  the  Enquirer,  which  was  to  become  the  official  organ  of 
the  Society,  Lundy  retaining  the  editorship.  This  arrangement 
continued  until  March  9,  1838,  just  one  year. 

Then  an  entire  change  of  programme  was  made.  The  Penn- 
sylvania Anti-Slavery  Society  took  the  Enquirer,  changed  its 
name  to  the  Pennsyhania  Freeman,  and  secured  the  services  of 
John  Greenleaf  Whittier  as  editor. 

Thus  relieved  of  editorial  responsibility,  Lundy  planned  to 
begin  life  anew ;  he  would  go  west,  buy  a  home  and  gather  his 
children  around  him,  equip  an  office  and  resume  the  publication 
of  the  Genius.  Such  were  his  plans,  but  he  did  not  start  west  at 
once.  He  lingered,  desiring  to  attend  a  series  of  abolition  meet- 
ings which  were  to  be  held  in  Philadelphia  the  middle  of  May. 

One  of  the  difficulties  encountered  by  the  anti-slavery  re- 
formers was  the  impossibility  of  renting  public  halls  in  which 
tc  hold  their  meetings.  To  remedy  this,  the  abolitionists  of 
Pennsylvania  had  decided  to  buy  a  lot  in  Philadelphia  and  erect 
on  it  a  building  dedicated  to  Freedom  and  the  Rights  of  Man. 
They  raised  $30,000 ;  and  their  edifice,  named  Pennsylvania 
Hall,  was  opened  for  meetings  on  May  14,  1838.  The  Anti- 
Slavery  Convention    of    American    Women,    an    organization 


378  IBENJAMIN  LUNDV 

wiiich  lauuly  had  l),ecn  very  active  in  proniuling-,  held  there  its 
annual  meeting.     Public  meetings  were  held  for  three  days. 

This  gathering  of  abolition  agitators  caused  great  excitement 
in  the  city.  On  the  evening  of  the  17th,  John  Swift,  the  mayor 
of  i^hiladelphia,  went  to  the  managers  of  the  hall  and  requested 
them  not  to  hold  any  evening  session  lest  they  should  endanger 
the  safety  of  the  building.  To  this  they  agreed;  and  to  him 
iJKx  surrendered  the  ke}s.  The  mayor  made  a  speech  to  the 
niub  w  Inch  had  gathered  on  the  street  in  front  of  the  hall,  ad- 
vising them  to  go  home  and  go  to  bed  as  he  intended  to  do. 

But  the  mob  remained  and  becoming  bolder  soon  burst  open 
the  doors  and  set  fire  to  the  hall,  the  police  making  little,  if  any, 
resistance.  When  the  firemen  arrived  the  mob  would  not  allow 
iheui  to  save  the  hall  but  compelled  them  by  threats  to  confine 
their  efforts  to  protecting  the  surrounding  property. 

In  the  anti-slavery  office  in  this  hall  Lundy  had  collected  all 
the  property  which  he  intended  to  take  west  with  him,  includ- 
ing most  of  his  private  journals  and  complete  sets  of  the 
Genius. 

Everything  was  burned. 

The  next  morning  Lundy  wrote  to  a  friend  and  announced 
his  loss,  closing  his  letter  in  these  words :  "My  papers,  books, 
clothes— everything  of  value  (except  my  journal  in  Mexico, 
etc.)  are  all,  all  gone — a  total  sacrifice  on  the  altar  of  Universal 
Emancipation.  They  have  not  yet  got  my  conscience,  they  have 
not  yet  taken  my  heart,  and  until  they  rob  me  of  these,  they  can 
not  prevent  me  from  jjleading  the  cause  of  the  suffering  slave, 
i  am  not  disheartened,  though  everything  of  earthly  value  (in 
the  shape  of  property)  is  lost.  We  shall  assuredly  triumph 
yet." 

These  words  vibrate  with  the  unconquerable  spirit  of  the  man 
and  of  his  cause.  Gazing  on  the  blackened  and  smoking  walls 
of  Pennsylvania  Hall,  impoverished,  homeless,  and  with  the 
wild  jeering  of  the  mob  yet  ringing  in  his  ears,  he  breaks  forth 
into  an  exclamation  of  victory, — "We  shall  assuredly  triumph 
yet." 

The  prophecy  came  true,  the  Cause  did  triumph ;  but  for 
Penjamin  himself  the  close  of  life  was  not  far  off. 

As  a  reformer  he  was  firm  and  uncompromising;  he  stood 
during  his  whole  career  as  stiff  as  a  steel-beam  for  the  freedom 
of  every  human  being  everywhere.     But  at  the  same  time  he 


THE  PHILANTHROPIST.  379 

was  conciliator}-,  and  appealed  calmly  to  reason ;  and  the 
end  he  aimed  at  was  an  emancipation  brought  about  without 
the  use  of  fire  and  sword  ;  his  temper  and  methods  were  in  the 
main  acceptable  to  many  southern  people.  It  will  always  re- 
main a  matter  of  speculation  whether  or  not  slavery  could  have 
been  abolished  without  civil  war;  but  this  much  is  certain, — it 
never  could  have  been  so  done  except  under  the  leadership  of 
men  gifted  with  Lundy's  patience  and  common  sense. 

In  September,  1838,  Lundy  went  to  Hennepin,  Illinois,  and 
tried  to  resume  there  the  publication  of  the  Genius:  but  he 
encountered  much  ditficulty  in  securing  type  and  paper.  Dur- 
mg  the  delay  he  was  induced  to  locate  at  Lowell,  a  town  site 
that  had  recently  been  laid  out  but  which  had  not  yet  secured 
the  convenience  of  a  post  office.  There  in  the  winter  of  1838-9 
he  built  a  house  and  a  printing  office.  In  the  spring  he  bought 
as  a  home  for  his  unmarried  children  a  small  farm  four  miles 
away.  At  last  Benjamin's  life  had  fallen  in  pleasant  places ;  he 
had  his  children  around  him ;  he  had  an  office ;  and  the  Genius 
of  Universal  Emancipation  began  once  more  to  gQ  abroad. 

In  August  he  was  taken  with  a  slight  fever  which  was  then 
epidemic  in  that  section.  While  working  in  his  printing  office 
on  the  afternoon  of  the  21st,  he  was  seized  with  severe  pains  so 
that  he  could  not  go  to  his  home  but  spent  the  night  at  the  house 
of  his  friend  William  Seely.  He  grew  worse  and  suffered 
much  pain  all  the  next  day.  At  ten  o'clock  on  the  evening  of 
August  22,  1839,  the  pain  ceased  and  he  became  easy ;  it  was 
the  sign  of  approaching  death,  and  one  hour  later  he  breathed 
his  last. 

Such  was  the  life  of  Benjamin  Lund)-,  the  Founder  of  Amer- 
ican Abolitionism. 

Such  were  the  toils  and  struggles  of  this  tireless  and  effective 
worker  in  the  cause  of  human  freedom,  a  heroic  spirit  inspired 
to  lead  the  way  in  changing  the  thoughts  and  feelings  and 
morals  of  a  mighty  nation. 

As  God  naturally  wrought  out  his  decree  for  the  abolition  of 
slavery  in  America,  he  called  forth  Lundy  and  Lincoln — the 
saddler  to  begin,  and  the  rail-splitter  to  complete,  that  great 
and  irlorious  work.

BENJAMIN    LUNDY. 

While  i)repariiig  my  paper  on  Benjamin  Lmuly  in  1897,  1 
wrote  to  Susan  Al.  Wierman,  eldest  daughter  of  Benjamin 
Lundy,  soliciting  the  loan  of  copies  of  the  Genius  and  of  any 
original  letters  or  other  documents  which  she  might  have,  in 
order  that  I  might  exhibit  the  same  at  the  meeting  of  the  His- 
torical Club.  She  very  kindly  compHed  with  my  request,  and 
in  her  letter  said  : 

"Nearly  all  of  father's  papers  were  destroyed  by  lire  in  Penn- 
sylvania Hall  in  1838. 

"Zebina  Eastman,  of  Chicago,  commenced  to  collect  material 
for  a  book  and  we  sent  him  all  the  material  we  had  which  was 
not  much ;  but  he  died  suddenly — before  he  had  much  done,  I 
presume — and  none  of  the  material  has  been  returned.  Zebina 
was  with  father  in  Lowell  at  the  time  of  his  death,  and  had 
been  with  him  for  some  weeks ;  was  an  ardent  friend  of  his  and 
of  the  Cause. 

"I  have  not  one  whole  number  of  the  Genius,  and  the  scraps 
1  have  contain  little  but  what  has  been  used ;  I  furnished  Pro- 
fessor Williams  with  all  the  material  in  my  possession  and  he 
used  it  quite  largely  in  his  article.  However,  I  send  thee  such 
letters  and  papers  as  1  have ;  I  hope  they  may  prove  of  interest 
to  the  members  of  the  historical  society,  and  thee  is  free  to  make 
such  use  of  them  as  may  seem  best.  Should  be  pleased  to  hear 
of  thy  success,  and  would  gladly  do  anything  in  my  power  to 
help." 

One  of  the  papers  loaned  to  me  for  the  occasion  by  her  kind- 
ness I  have  already  given  word  for  word  on  pages  366-367, 
it  being  the  itinerary  of  Lundy's  journey  from  Baltimore  to 
Bennington ;  I  now  present  several  others  along  with  some  ex- 
cerpts gathered  by  me  from  various  sources  as  severally  indi- 
cated.

Letter  written  by  David  Lee  Child  and  addressed  to  Ben- 
jamin Lundy,  Moorestown,  Burlington  county,  N.  J. 

Mr.  Child  graduated  from  Harvard  in  the  class  of  1817;  he 
was  a  lawyer,  and  edited  the  Massachusetts  Weekly  Journal, 
published  at  Boston. 

New  York,  Mch.  28,  1830. 
Dear  Friend, — 

Yours  of  the  17th  Inst,  was  duly  received.  I  am  glad  you 
have  determined  as  you  there  state.  I  go  to  Boston  and  thence 
to  my  father's  at  West  Boylestown,  County  of  Worcester  and 
State  of  Massachusetts  where  any  communication  will  reach 
me.  Let  me  know  all  you  learn  about  the  progress  or  retro- 
gression of  "the  blackhearted  ingrates."  Is  it  not  curious  that 
even  now,  after  dipping  their  felon  hands  up  to  the  elbows  in 
blood,  they  are  not  grateful  to  Santa  Anna  for  not  driving  them 
out  of  Southern  heathendom  or  into  the  Gulf  of  Mexico.  God's 
will  be  done  tho  it  is  a  sore  trial  to  any  observer  to  wait  so  long 
for  their  destruction.  Accounts  in  the  newspapers  are  so  con- 
tradictory that  I  put  no  confidence  in  them.  Whenever  you 
get  correct  information,  let  me  have  the  pleasure  of  it  for  I  shall 
be  in  the  country  where  I  shall  not  be  superabundantly  supplied 
with  news. 

We  left  Joseph  Carpenter  and  his  family  all  well.  That  is 
one  of  the  best  men  I  ever  saw. 

He  was  pleased  to  be  remembered  by  you.  He  is  one  of  your 
old  friends,  and  if  you  could  be  able  to  visit  him,  you  would 
give  and  receive  great  pleasure.  We  have  been  fortunate  to 
form  the  acquaintance  and  I  hope  acquire  the  friendship  of  two 
such  persons  as  he  and  his  sweet  and  blessed  daughter  Esther. 
They  have  the  Turpie  children  to  bring  up.  These  children 
will  be  rendered,  I  hope,  very  important  to  the  cause  of  truth. 
My  wife  desires  remembrance  to  you. 

Yr  Sincere  friend. 
Mr.  Benjamin  Lundy.  D.  L.  Child.

a   Boardinp^-School    for  (iirls    ai     \>>vk    Sulpliur    Springs    in 
Adams  county,  one  lunidred  niik-s  west  of   I 'hila(k'l])hia. 

I'hilad-a.  5th  mo.  29,   1831. 
L>i-:ak  Sister, — 

I  expected  to  receive  a  letter  from  thee,  before  now.  I 
will,  however,  excuse  thee  for  thy  neglect;  for,  judging  from 
the  past,  1  fear  1  shall  often  stand  in  need  of  similar  favors. 

Well,  I  have  engaged  our  friend.  Amos  Gilbert,  to  assist  in 
the  editorial  management  of  the  ii cuius,  while  1  i)erform  my 
great  tour ;  and  he  is  now  in  Washington,  and  1  am  on  my  jour- 
ney. But,  as  I  shall  take  such  a  zig-zag,  round-about  course,  I 
expect  to  be  in  \Vashington  again  before  I  get  far  awa}'  from 
home.  I  have  it  in  prospect  to  visit  some  parts  of  the  State  of 
Delaware,  New  Jersey,  and  Maryland,  immmediately.  After 
leaving  Washington  again,  (i:)robably  in  4  or  5  months  from 
this  date)  I  shall  shape  my  course  pretty  directly  to  your  part  of 
the  country.  I  shall  not  go  far  away  until  I  see  what  kind  of  a 
home  my  dear  sister  has.  I  have  just  beeti  to  see  sister  Phebe. 
She  has  a  tine  daughter,  and  has  named  it  "Lydia  S." 

I  am  in  hopes  William  has  provided  a  snug  home  for  his 
family.  leather,  mother,  I)el)orah  and  Mary  are  now  to  the 
eastward.  1  have  not  .seen  any  (^f  the  family,  at  home,  since 
thee  left  them  :  but  I  expect  to  visit  them  in  a  week  or  two. 
Several  of  them  attended  the  Y.  ^Meeting,  as  I  did  also  myself. 
I  then  saw  thy  letter  to  H.  Townsend  ;  (and  when  at  brother 
W'm's,  Phebe  .showed  me  the  one  thee  sent  her)  ;  from  which  T 
gather  that  thee  did  not  fancy  our  slave  system  in  the  South' 
Thee  told  some  prett}-  tough  stories  about  us ! 

Well,  dear  sister,  I  do  not  know  but  that  T  will  let  Susan  go 
and  li\e  with  thee  a  few  months,  this  summer  and  fall,  if  it 
will  still  be  agreeable  to  both  J(X'l  and  thyself.  The  woman, 
that  she  first  went  to,  has  (|nit  the  business  on  account  of  ill- 
health  :  and  she  has  since  been  a  short  time  with  another.  I'.ut 
the  latter  demands  terms  that  I  am  not  disposed  to  comply  with. 
Some  in(|uiry  has  l)een  made  for  a  situation  here;  and  she  can 
be  accommodated  in  tlu'  fall.  I  have  talked  with  Sarah  Mar- 
shall of  Philadelphia:  -he  will  take  Susan  in  the  fall;  and  1 
think  it  would  be  a  good  ])lace.  Should  no  other  opportunity 
ol¥er.  she  ma\  pa\-  thee  a  visit,  if  thee  can  give  her  some  em- 
ployment.    She  must  not   (go  where  she  may)  contract  habits

of  idleness.  Please  write  me  at  Washington  as  soon  as  this 
comes  to  hand,  and  inform  me  whether  thee  is  still  willing  to 
have  her  with  thee  a  few  months.  If  thy  letter  reaches  Wash- 
ington before  my  return,  it  will  be  opened  by  A.  Gilbert  and 
shewn  to  her.  I  am  glad  to  learn  that  thee  is  pleased  wnth  thv 
new  home  and  new  connexion.  And,  my  dear  sister,  I  truly 
hope  and  trust  that  thee  will  long  enjoy  the  happy  satisfaction 
of  a  peaceful  and  plentiful  home.  If  I  am  not  exceedingly  de- 
ceived, thee  has  a  kind  and  worthy  husband.  I  have  esteemed 
him  ver}'  highly  ever  since  I  became  acquainted  with  him,  but 
circumstances  forbade  my  expressing  the  kindly  feeling  of  my 
heart  towards  him.  I  knew  however  that  he  had  good  sense 
enough  to  approve,  rather  than  condemn,  my  seeming  taci- 
turnity. The  case  is  now  altered, — and  I  tender  him  the  assur- 
ance of  a  brother's  kindest  afifection.  And  thee  must  impress  it 
on  his  mind. 

When  I  sat  down  I  did  not  think  of  writing  half  so  much ; 
but  as  I  forgot  to  stop  sooner,  thee  must  pardon  my  prolixity. 
Sincerely,  Dear  Sister, 

I  am  Thy  Loving  Brother, 

B.  LUNDY.

Resolutions  adopted  at  a  i)nblic  niectinj;-  held  in  the  City  of 
Matamoras,  Mexico,  on  the  afternoon  of  Ai)ril  2.  1835,  during 
Benjamin  Lundy's  last  visit  to  that  city. 

The  preamble  and  the  first  two  resolutions  have  not  been 
preserved. 

3.  A  colony  of  this  character  would  demonstrate  the  value  of 
free  labor  in  the  culture  of  sugar,  cotton,  etc.,  almost  side  by 
side  with  the  planters  of  Louisiana  and  adjacent  States.  On 
this  point  mainly  the  advocate  of  slavery  presumes  to  argue 
now ;  and  the  practical  argument  which  may  thus  be  adduced 
in  favor  of  the  abolition  of  slavery  will,  we  are  confident,  be 
more  effectual  than  any  other  in  extinguishing  the  system  of 
slavery  upon  pacific  principles.  It  will  remove  the  last  plank 
from  under  the  foot  of  him  who  entrenches  himself  on  the  quag- 
mire of  prejudice  and  des])otisiu  ;  and  he  must  then  sink  amid 
the  quicksand  of  human  turpitude  or  immediately  place  him- 
self on  the  solid  ground  of  rational  justice. 

4.  Resolved,  That,  altho'  the  Mexican  people  have  but  re- 
cently emerged  from  the  gloom  of  a  most  oppressive  despotism 
under  which  they  had,  for  ages,  struggled  with  ignorance  and 
persecution  ;  }'et  they  have  nobly  thrown  off  the  shackles  of 
tyranny  and  degradation  ;  they  have  embraced  the  true  princi- 
ples of  genuine  rciniblicanism  :  they  have  made  rapid  advances 
in  carrying  these  princii)les  into  effect,  not  merely  in  theory  but 
also  in  i)ractice: — and  we  have  not  the  least  doubt  that  this  Re- 
])ublic  is  destined  to  rank  high  among  the  most  free,  enlight- 
ened, oi)ulcnt  and  ])owerful  nations  of  the  earth. 

5.  Rcsoh'cd.  That,  having  taken  up  our  abode  in  this  part  of 
\orth  America  under  the  fostering  protection  of  the  Mexican 
Rc]nil)lic,  we  s])eak  from  experience  when  we  say  that  in  our 
opinion  it  is  the  most  suitable  location  in  the  world  for  such  of 
our  colored  brethren  in  the  United  States  of  the  North  as  may 
be   (like  we  were)   desirous  to  change  the  place  of  their  resi- 


THE  PHILANTHROPIST.  385 

dence  for  one  where  they  may  in  fact,  as  well  as  in  name,  enjoy 
the  blessings  of  freedom  and  the  "equal  rights  of  man."  As 
the  genial  rays  of  the  most  brilliant  heavenly  luminaries  are 
shed,  alike,  on  men  of  all  colors  and  conditions,  so  are  the  con- 
sistent provisions  of  Mexican  legislation.  Merit  alone,  not 
color,  is  a  passport  to  distinction  here.  This  may,  therefore,  be 
emphatically  termed  "the  home  of  the  free."  It  is,  indeed,  a 
home  for  the  man  of  color.  Here  he  ma}-  "repose  under  his 
own  vine  and  under  his  own  fig  tree,  where  there  are  none  to 
molest  or  make  him  afraid." 

Some  of  us  have  resided  in  this  country  many  years ;  and 
\vhen  we  consider  its  contiguity  to  that  of  our  brethren,  and  the 
consequent  facility  of  migration,  the  amenity  and  salubrity  of 
the  climate,  the  fertility  of  the  soil  and  its  adaptation  to  every 
species  of  culture  known  upon  the  American  Continent,  its  cen- 
tral location,  convenience  for  manufactures  and  commerce,  and 
proximity  to  the  best  markets  in  the  world  ;  the  remarkable 
healthiness  of  this  particular  region  even  for  northern  constitu- 
tions, the  total  absence  of  prejudice  among  the  natives  on  ac- 
count of  color  and  the  perfect  equality  social  and  political  which 
is  extended  by  them  to  persons  of  all  colors  from  all  nations ; — 
we  say  when  all  these  things  are  taken  into  consideration  we 
feel  ourselves  fully  warranted  in  adopting  the  conclusion  ex- 
pressed in  the  first  part  of  this  resolution. 

6.  Resolved,  That,  notwithstanding  we  have  abandoned  the 
nation  of  our  birth  on  account  of  the  persecution  and  oppression 
to  which  ourselves  and  our  brethren  were  then  subjected, — still 
we  take  a  deep  and  lively  interest  in  the  welfare  and  happiness 
of  those  we  have  left  behind  us. 

7.  Resolved,  That  we  shall  hail  with  pleasure  the  arrival  of 
our  colored  friends  in  this  country,  whenever  they  may  choose 
if  as  the  place  of  their  residence  and  will  do  everything  con- 
sistent with  our  convenience  to  welcome  and  assist  them  in 
establishing  themselves  in  business,  and  we  do  assure  them, 
that  in  case  they  prove  themselves  to  be  moral,  industrious  and 
prudent  and  detuean  themselves  well,  they  will  not  only  receive 
the  most  hospitable  treatment,  unequivocal  friendship  and  safe 
protection  from  the  Mexican  people  and  government,  but  that 
they  will  also  be  invested  with  all  rights,  privileges  and  immu- 
nities, social,  political  and  religious,  that  are  extended  to  the  in- 
dividuals of  any  nation  or  color ;  and  further,  that  the  door  of 


386  BENJAMIN  LUNDY 

improvement  being  here  plainly  open  and  every  obstacle  in  the 
way  of  emulation  and  honest  competition  removed  the  y  may 
by  a  proper  exercise  of  their  faculties,  according  to  their 
various  talents  and  capacities  soon  acquire  wealth,  respectabil- 
ity and  honor,  however  humble  may  have  been  the  stations  they 
had  previously  occupied  when  prejudice  reigned  triumphant 
over  them  and  tyranny  had  shrouded  them  in  darkness  and  ob- 
scurity. 

8.  Resolved,  That  the  Secretary  be  directed  to  furnish  Mr. 
Lundy  with  a  copy  of  the  proceedings  of  this  meeting  to  be  used 
by  him  in  whatever  manner  he  may  judge  proper  for  the  infor- 
mation of  our  friends  and  brethren  relative  to  our  feelings, 
views  and  sentiments  as  above  expressed. 

Signed  by  order  of  the  meeting.

Chairman. 
Attest:  Jeff.  Hamlin,  Secretary.

Extract  from  a  letter  written  to  Benjamin  Lundy  by  some 
correspondent  in  Mexico. 

....  But  the  pump  for  raising  water  is  of  the  first  and  in- 
dispensable importance.  Hubbard's  is  the  one  to  be  preferred. 
One  large  pump  might  water  many  small  farms  but  probably 
the  better  way  would  be  for  each  farmer  to  be  independent  of 
another  with  regard  to  his  water  and  use  a  smaller  and  less  ex- 
pensive pump  worked  by  a  horse  power  which  must  be  procured 
with  the  pump.  Hubbard's  second  size  will  answer  the  pur- 
lK)Sc  well.  The  largest  size  would  be  sufficient  for  a  farm  that 
would  employ  fifty  hands.  It  would  require  an  eight  horse- 
power to  carry  it.  The  price  of  the  largest  size  is  140$,  that  of 
the  common  size  40$.  and  the  manual  or  smallest  25$.  Gear- 
ing, \npvs  ik  machinery  accompanying  extra.  The  vessel  owned 
by,  or  employed  by  the  colony  when  not  required  in  transport- 
ation should  take  mules  from  this  port  to  Mobile  or  Pensacola 
and  return  with  timber.  In  this  way  she  would  make  money 
instead  of  sinking  it ;  but  great  pains  should  be  taken  in  pro- 
curing her  captain  and  crew.  They  should  understand  their 
business  well.  The  vessel  must  come  provided  with  every  thing 
for  such  a  cargo,  for  nothing  but  the  mules  can  be  procured 
here.    The  hay,  water,  oats  &  corn  for  the  mules,  halters  and 


THE  PHILANTHROPIST.  387 

chains  for  tying^  them,  shngs  for  keeping  them  up  and  the 
limber  for  their  mangers  must  all  come  with  the  vessel. 

Your  idea  of  separating  families,  or  rather  of  bringing  at 
first  only  single  men,  I  cannot  approve.  Married  men  are  the 
most  efficient  at  all  times  and  will  give  greatest  satisfaction  to 
the  government.     Their  morals  are  also  more  to  be  relied  on. 

I  recommend  that  a  vessel  be  bought  of  about  90  or  a  100 
tons  with  not  over  7  or  8  feet  draft  for  the  use  of  the  colonists. 

There  will  be  great  economy  in  this  as  she  can  ply  in  the 
trade  between  this  port  and  New  Orleans  &  pay  her  own  ex- 
penses besides  transporting  the  colonists  with  all  their  agricul- 
tural implements,

Letter  written  by  Col.  I.  N.  Almonte,  Mexican  Minister  to 
the  United  States,  and  addressed  to  Benjamin  Lundy,  Esqr.,  94 
North  Fifth  street,  Philadelphia. 

New  York,  Sept.  the  24,  1835. 
Dear  Sir, — 

On  mv  return  from  Canada,  which  was  three  days  ago,  I  was 
agreeabl}-  surprised  to  find  on  my  table  your  much  esteemed 
letter  of  the  i  ith  inst.  I  had  the  pleasure  to  converse  with  Mr. 
Child  and  I  got  some  interesting  information  from  him  in  re- 
gard to  Texas.     I  shall  see  him  again  when  he  returns  to  town. 

I  can  positively  assure  you  that  our  gov't  never  will  part  with 
Texas  ;  we  know  too  well  to  appreciate  good  things,  and  not 
only  that  but  the  sale  of  Texas  would  produce  a  revolution  in 
Mexico.  I  had  advices  from  that  city  up  to  the  ist  of  Sept. 
inst.,  and  by  them  I  learn  that  everything  goes  on  smoothly. 
The  Congress  has  not  yet  declared  whether  it  is  to  be  constit- 
uent or  convocant,  and  many  assure  me  that  the  Const'n.  will 
not  be  changed  but  amended  only.  We  shall  see  by  next  Packet 
what  has  finally  been  done. 

I  am  extremely  obliged  to  you  foi*  the  information  you  give 
me  of  Melish's  map  :  would  you  be  so  good  as  to  call  on  Messrs. 
Follin  &  Cuerta,  No.  36  W'alnut  street^,  and  let  them  know  the 
price  of  the  said  map?  They  will  in  that  case  give  you  the 
money  and  you  will  still  be  kind  enough  to  buy  it  and  deposit 
it  into  :\lr.  Cuerta's  hands.  You  can  show  this  part  of  my  let- 
ter to  them  and  thev  will,  I  doubt  not,  serve  me. 


388  BENJAMIN  LUNDY 

I  shall  not  pass  through  that  town  until  December  and  there- 
fore I  shall  wait  it  to  have  the  pleasure  of  seeing  you.  I  live  in 
Cortland  street  No.  40,  near  Broadway,  and  will  be  happy  t.) 
see  you  there. 

Yours  truly, 

I.  N.  Almonte.

ington, D,  C,  and  Lyman  A.  Spalding,  of  Lockport,  N.  Y., 
dated  January  28,  1836. 

Articles  of  Agreement  betzveen  Benjamin  Lundy  and  Lyman 
A.  Spalding. 

(Done  in  duplicate.) 

These  articles  of  agreement  made  and  executed  on  the 
twenty-eighth  day  of  January  in  the  year  one  thousand  eight 
hundred  and  thirty-six  between  Benjamin  Lundy  of  the  city  of 
Washington,  in  the  District  of  Columbia,  of  the  one  part,  and 
Lyman  A.  Spalding,  of  Lockport,  in  the  State  of  New  York,  of 
the  other  part.  Witness  that  whereas  the  said  Benjamin  hath 
entered  into  a  treaty  with  the  Governor  of  the  free  and  sover- 
eign State  of  Tamaulipas,  Republic  of  Mexico,  bearing  date  the 
tenth  day  of  March  in  the  year  one  thousand  eight  hundred  and 
thirty-five,  whereby  a  grant  of  lands  in  the  said  state  was  made 
to  the  said  Benjamin  under  certain  clauses  and  restrictions  as 
by  reference  to  said  treaty  (which  was  published  at  Philadel- 
phia in  the  same  year  one  thousand  eight  hundred  and  thirty- 
five)  will  more  fully  appear,  now  for  and  in  consideration  of 
the  premises,  also  of  the  said  Lyman's  having  advanced  to  said 
Benjamin  certain  sums  of  money  as  set  forth  in  two  previous 
articles  of  agreement,  bearing  date  respectively  the  twelfth  day 
of  first  month  (January)  1832,  and  the  first  day  of  eleventh 
month  (November)  1832,  also  of  one  dollar  to  him  now  in  hand 
hand  paid  the  receipt  of  which  is  hereby  acknowledged,  and 
also  of  other  good  and  lawful  considerations,  the  said  Benjamin 
and  Lyman  have  agreed  and  by  these  presents  do  agree  to  be- 
come and  do  become  coj^artners,  hereby  covenanting  and  agree- 
ing each  to  and  with  the  other  in  manner  and  form  following, 
that  is  to  say — 


THE  PHILANTHROPIST.  389 

1st. — The  said  Benjamin  shall  proceed  to  colonize  the  land 
granted  to  him  by  said  treaty  upon  the  terms  and  in  the  manner 
required  thereby,  so  soon  as  in  his  judgment  it  shall  be  safe  and 
expedient  so  to  do,  transacting  the  whole  of  the  business  of 
such  colonization  whether  the  same  be  with  the  authorities  of 
the  State  of  Tamaulipas  or  with  any  other  person  or  persons, 
body  or  bodies  politic  whatever  in  his  the  said  Benjamin's  own 
name  and  in  the  manner  which  he  shall  think  best. 

2d. — The  reasonable  costs  accrued  and  expenditures  incurred 
by  said  Benjamin  in  colonizing  the  said  land  shall  from  time  to 
time  as  may  be  deemed  convenient,  be  fully  and  correctly  stated 
and  proper  accounts  thereof  be  submitted  to  said  Lyman  or  his 
proper  attorney;  which  said  costs  and  expenditures  shall  be 
equally  borne  and  defrayed  by  the  parties  hereto,  provided 
nevertheless  the  said  Benjamin  shall  besides  paying  his  own 
moiety  furnish  as  far  as  may  be  practicable  the  funds  towards 
defraying  the  said  Lyman's  half  until  this  shall  have  amounted 
to  the  sum  of  five  hundred  dollars  (in  which  sum  the  said  Ben- 
jamin is  well  and  truly  indebted  to  the  said  Lyman  upon  a  bond 
bearing  date  the  twelfth  day  of  first  month  (January)  one 
thousand  eight  hundred  and  thirty-two,  alluded  to  in  the  for- 
mer articles  of  agreement  above  referred  to)  :  and  all  payments 
so  made  by  said  Benjamin  for  ■  said  Lyman  shall  be  duly 
credited  upon  said  bond  it  being  understood  by  both  par- 
ties that  in  case  of  difficulties  preventing  the  completion  of  the 
colony  designed  or  in  case  said  Lyman's  moiety  of  the  expenses 
as  above  paid  by  said  Benjamin  shall  not  amount  to  said  sum 
of  five  hundred  dollars,  then  the  balance  of  said  sum  after  de- 
ducting the  amounts  paid  shall  be  considered  a  loan  to  said 
Benjamin  to  bear  interest  at  the  rate  of  seven  dollars  for  every 
one  hundred  dollars  per  annum  as  mentioned  in  the  agreements 
already  referred  to, 

,3d. — Immediately  upon  said  Benjamin's  receiving  the  deeds 
of  said  lands  in  fee  simple  or  of  any  part  thereof  according  to 
the  provisions  of  the  said  treaty,  they  shall  be  equally  divided  ac- 
cording to  quantity  and  quality  between  the  said  Benjamin  and 
said  Lyman  or  their  respective  heirs  or  assigns,  to  be  held  sever- 
ally by  them  subject  to  the  terms  of  the  treaty  and  laws  of  the 
country,  provided  nevertheless  the  said  Benjamin  shall  have  the 
full  and  entire  right  and  power  (which  is  hereby  fully  granted 
and  conceded  by  said  Lyman)   of  granting  and  conveying  to 


39°  BENJAMIN   LUNDY 

each  of  the  colonists  recjuired  b\-  said  treaty  gratis  and  w  ithout 
charge  such  portions  of  land  as  may  be  necessary  to  induce 
them  to  become  settlers  or  in  general  of  using  such  other 
measures  in  the  transfer  of  portions  of  said  land  to  the  colon- 
ists as  will  in  his  opinion  best  promote  the  interests  of  the  par- 
ties hereto,  he  hereby  binding-  hiiiiself  to  exert  his  best  elTorts 
in  promoting  the  same. 

4th. — Should  it  at  any  time  hereafter  (before  the  deeds  be 
received  as  aforesaid  and  the  division  made)  be  the  desire  of 
the  parlies  to  farm  or  improxe  any  portion  of  said  land  upon 
their  individual  accounts,  the  said  Benjamin  shall  have  the  first 
choice  of  a  tract  (say  a  league  or  labor  as  he  may  select)  and 
said  L.yman  shall  have  the  second  choice,  which  portions  so 
selected  shall  be  held  by  each  party  in  fee  simple,  absolutely, 
separately  and  apart  from  the  partnership  hereby  formed  as  to 
the  residue  of  the  Grant. 

5th. — It  is  further  mutual!}-  agreed  that  in  case  the  parties 
hereto  shall  at  any  future  time  deem  it  expedient  to  purchase  a 
tract  of  land  in  some  suitable  place  in  the  vicinity  of  the  land 
granted  by  the  treaty  and  herein  before  alluded  to  for  the  pur- 
P'ose  of  establishing  a  commercial  city,  the  said  L\-man  shall 
purchase  the  same  for  his  own  sole  use  and  benefit,  and  the

Letter  written  by  Lydia  Maria  Child,  wife  of  David  Lee 
Child,  to  Benjamin  Lundy. 

Circumstances  had  prevented  Benjamin  from  starting  to 
Mexico  with  his  settlers  during  February,  1836,  the  favor- 
able month ;  and  therefore  he  had  proposed  that  he  and  Mr. 
Child  should  proceed  together  to  New  Orleans,  in  disguise, 
and  thence  to  Matamoras.  Mrs.  Child  was  the  editor  of  the 
Anti-Slavery  Standard. 

New  Rochelle,   [N.  Y.],  March   14th,   [1836]. 

Esteemed  Friend, — 

I  received  your  letter  yesterday.  I  was  very  much  distressed 
for  fear  that  Mr.  Child  would  fall  in  with  your  proposed 
route ;  but  he  has  pledged  himself  not  to  go  without  me,  and 
now  I  feel  easy  concerning  him. 

But  your  danger  will  be  a  hundred  fold  greater  than  his.  I 
do  beseech  you  not  to  be  so  rash  as  to  think  of  running  this 
great  risk,  merely  for  the  sake  of  gaining  a  few  weeks'  time. 
In  the  common  course  of  nature  it  cannot  be  very  long  before 
the  ice  breaks  up.  This  delay  is  over-ruled  by  Providence  for 
some  good ;  and  being  impatient  under  it  will  only  be  produc- 
tive of  mischief.  I  think  we  had  better  wait  till  we  can  all  go 
together.  Mr.  Child  has  proposed  to  go  by  way  of  Jamaica ; 
but  this  would  increase  expense,  and  be  accompanied  with 
uncertainty.  What  very  important  difference  can  a  few  weeks 
make? 

I  pray  you  do  not  go  by  way  of  N.  Orleans.     Having  sur- 


392  BENJAMIN   LUNDY 

vived  so  many  dangers,  do  not  hazard  all  on  one  throw,  just 
as  the  way  seems  open  for  the  final  accomplishment  of  your 
wishes. 

Very  Respectfully  &  sincerely  your  Friend, 

L.  Maria  Child. 

P.  S. — Joseph  Carpenter  &  his  family  desire  to  be  remem- 
bered. 

(On  the  back  of  the  foregoing  letter  the  following  passage  is 
found.) 

I  have  little  to  add  to  the  enclosed  letter;  but  1  hope  to  get 
something  more  defmite  soon  concerning  the  situation,  views 
and  purposes 

Plenipe  F —  has  recently  arrived,  and  has  promised  us  news. 
1  fancy  the  late  Charge  is  not  disposed  to  be  very  communica- 
tive. Well,  he  has  a  right  to  be  close,  and  as  a  general  rule  it 
is  his  duty. 

it  seems  to  me  that  the  Texan  traitors  are  now  going  down 
hill  to  destruction  as  fast  as  the  greatest  sinners  need  to,  unless 
Andrew  the  first  (and  last  1  hope)  picks  a  quarrel  &  sends  the 
"6th  Regiment,"  which  is  now  on  army  observation,  to  whip 
the  Mexicans  into  the  Pacific  Ocean. 

It  appears  to  me  that  Santa  Anna  is  displaying  consummate 
statesmanship.  I  see  now  why  the  Texans  began  to  call  him 
"the  archfiend"  about  two  months  ago.  The  Mexican  nation 
and  government  have  been  so  long  harassed,  irritated,  and 
insulted  by  these  insolent  slavite  desperadoes  that  they  will,  I 
doubt  not,  make  thorough  work  with  them  now.  They  must 
look  unfavorably  upon  any  new  emigrants  from  the  United 
States.

The  heading  of  the  letter  has  been  lost. 

The  season  when    we    wished    to    go    has    already 

passed  and  a  few  days  or  weeks  cannot  now  be  very  important. 
I  should  suppose  that  very  little  can  be  done  this  year  except 
in  planting  provisions,  erecting  dwellings  and  laying  out  lots 
so  as  to  begin  betimes  next  January.  I  wish  to  be  there  and 
will  go  by  the  first  opportunity  altho'  I  regret  that  the  best  and 
healthiest  months  for  arriving  there  have  passed  away.     But

temperance  &  regularity  render  almost  any  changes  of  climate 
safe.  Let  us  know  immediately  whether  you  concur  in  our 
views.  Arrived  at  our  destination,  our  land  selected,  and  the 
nature  of  the  soil,  climate,  &c.,  tried,  we  shall  be  able  to  put 
forth  a  circular  in  the  U.  S.  which  will  bring  us  settlers  as  fast 
as  they  can  be  accommodated.

A  extract  from  The  War  in  Texas,  a  pamphlet  of  fifty-six 
pages,  written  and  published  by  Benjamin  Lundy  in  1836. 

It  is  susceptible  of  the  clearest  demonstration  that  the  im- 
mediate cause  and  the  leading  object  of  this  contest  originated 
in  a  settled  design  among  the  slaveholders  of  this  country  (with 
land-speculators  and  slave-traders)  to  wrest  the  large  and  val- 
uable territory  of  Texas  from  the  Mexican  Republic  in  order 
to  reestablish  the  system  of  slavery;  to  open  a  vast  and  profit- 
able slave-market  therein ;  and  ultimately,  to  annex  it  to  the 
LTnited  States. 

We  can  no  longer  disguise  the  fact  that  the  advocates  of 
Slavery  are  resolved  at  all  hazards  to  obtain  the  territory  in 
question,  if  possible,  for  the  avowed  purpose  of  adding  five  or 
six  more  slave-holding  states  to  the  Union ! 

It  is  now  time  for  the  people  of  the  United  States  who  are 
opposed  to  this  horrible  evil  (an  evil  unparalleled  in  the  present 
state  of  the  world)  to  arouse  from  their  lethargy  and  nip  the 
monstrous  attempt  in  the  bud. 

XL 

Resolution  adopted  by  the  Anti-Slavery  Society  of  the  State 
of  Pennsylvania  at  its  convention  held  at  Harrisburg  from  Jan- 
uary 31  to  February  2,  1837: 

Whereas.  We  recognize  and  appreciate  the  self-denying 
zeal  and  untiring  efforts  of  Benjamin  Lundy,  by  which  he  sus- 
tained The  Genius  of  Universal  Emancipation  for  eight  years 
of  general  apathy  on  the  subject  of  slavery,  when  no  pecuniary 
embarrassment,  no  privations  of  society,  no  cold  neglect  or  in- 
difference to  his  warning  voice  could  dissuade  him  from  his 


394  BENJAMIN   LUNDY 

hxed  principles  of  duty,  but  finally  the  attention  of  many  was 
roused  by  it  throughout  the  land  ;  therefore, 

Resolved,  That  r.enjaniin  Lundy  receive  the  thanks  of  this 
Convention.

Letter  written  by  Benjamin  Lundy,  and  addressed  to  Wil- 
liam C.  Wierman,  York  Springs,  Pennsylvania. 

Philadelphia,  4th  mo.  6th,  1837. 
Mv  Ukar  Children, — 

1  have  been  ver}-  unwell  much  of  the  time  since  I  saw  you. 
Aly  time  has  also  been  so  incessantly  occupied  when  I  have 
been  able  to  attend  to  business  that  it  has  been  out  of  my  power 
to  pay  much  attention  to  matters  of  a  private  nature.  This  will 
account  for  my  delaying  so  long  to  write  to  you.  The  time  is 
near  at  hand  when  I  suppose  you  will  set  out  for  the  west.  I 
have  thotight  much  upon  the  subject  since  m\-  return  home,  and 
indulge  the  hope  that  everything  may  be  arranged  to  your 
satisfaction. 

Eliza  seems  at  a  loss  to  decide  whether  to  go  to  the  west,  just 
now,  or  to  wait  until  I  can  go  also.  As  the  State  Society  has 
now  taken  the  National  Enquirer  on  the  condition  that  I  shall 
still  continue  its  editor,  I  do  not  expect  that  I  can  leave  this 
part  of  the  country  before  next  Fall,  or  Spring.  I  have  no  ex- 
pectation that  my  location  here  will  be  permanent.  I  wish  to 
arrange  matters  so  that  I  can  spend  the  remainder  of  my  life 
among  my  children,  if  possible ;  and  it  is  altogether  likely  that 
I  shall  obtain  a  discharge  from  my  present  station  after  a  while. 
The  friends  of  our  cause  will  not  listen  to  anything  of  the  kind 
at  present ;  and,  in  fact,  I  believe,  myself,  that  it  w'ould  not  be 
proper  for  me  to  seek  repose,  during  the  heat  of  the  great  moral 
warfare  in  which  I  have  been  so  long  engaged. 

As  for  Charles,  I  am  of  the  opinion  that  he  had  best  accom- 
pany you,  if  it  is  your  desire.  You  will  probably  need  his  as- 
sistance, both  in  performing  the  journey  with  your  goods,  &c., 
and  in  preparing  your  new  habitation.  Even  if  he  should  re- 
turn again  after  a  while,  or  choose  to  learn  a  trade,  I  have  no 
doubt  that  it  be  the  best  for  himself  to  go  with  you  In  fact,  I 
scarcely  know  what  he  could  do  here,  to  advantage.  If  you 
should  not  have  full  employment  for  him,  he  would  find  no 


THE  PHILANTHROPIST.  395 

difficulty  in  getting-  it  among  our  friends  in  that  part  of  the 
country.  Should  he  incline  to  learn  a  trade,  as  aforesaid, 
he  could  get  better  terms  in  a  new  country  than  in  the 
old  settlements.  1  have  got  a  pretty  good  situation  for 
Eliza,  but  I  have  no  idea  that  one  could  be  had,  about  here,  for 
Charles,  unless  he  would  serve  an  apprenticeship  of  five  or  six 
years. 

I  wish  vou  to  write  me,  soon  after  the  reception  of  this,  and 
let  me  know,  candidly,  your  views  upon  this  subject.  Let  me 
know,  also,  what  Charles  thinks  of  it  himself.  And  further,  I 
wish  to  understand  the  precise  time  of  your  intended  depart- 
ure, that  I  may,  if  possible,  see  you  again  before  you  set  out. 

I  received  a  letter  from  sister  Mary  a  short  time  since  She 
has  not  yet  arrived  in  the  city  but  we  expect  her  to-morrow.  T 
got  Susan's  letter,  a  few  days  ago.  She  sends  her  love  to  you 
all. 

Soon  after  ni}-  return  here  I  wrote  to  Brother  William  Lewis 
but  have  got  no  answer  yet.  Have  you  received  anything  from 
him  lately? 

We  learn  that  our  friends  in  New  Jersey  are  generally  in 
usual  health.  Isaac  Lewis,  Morgan  Lewis'  son,  from  Short 
Creek,  Ohio,  was  here  last  week.  He  saw  Father  Lewis. 
Brother  Samuel,  Sister  Ann  Fullerton,  and  their  folks  a  week 
or  two  before,  who  were  all  in  common  health. 

Do  not  forget  to  write  me  iiiiuiediatcly.     That  is  the  popular 
doctrine  now.     Give  my  love  to  Lydia,  Joel,  Charles,  and  al! 
the  children.     You  have  so  many  there,  it  would  occupy  too 
much  time  and  space  to  name  them  all  here. 
Your  affectionate  Father, 

B.  LUNDY.

Dear  Wm  &  Susan, — 

Esther  has  been  taken  down  with  the  Ague  fever,  and  there 
is  no  one  here  to  pay  her  the  proper  attention.  I  am  confined 
to  my  bed  more  than  half  the  time. 

1  want  Susan  to  take  care  of  her,  while  her  illness  continues. 
When  she  gets  able  to  work  she  may  help  Eliza,  if  she  wants 
her.  I  will  pay  fully  for  her  board,  &c.  &c.  while  she  is  unable 
to  work.  My  journeyman  is  about  leaving  me,  and  I  must  shut 
up  my  office  again. 

I  will  see  you  all  as  soon  as  I  am  able  to  ride  that  distance. 

Ailfectionately,

Obituary  notice  of  Esther  (Lewis)  Lundy,  wife  of  Benjamin 
Lundy;  written  by  her  husband  and  published  in  The  Genius 
on  June  3,  1826: 

The  editor  has  never  made  it  a  practice  to  insert  obituary 
notices  in  this  work,  but  he  trusts  that  his  readers  will  hold 
him  excused  for  occupying  a  small  space  in  the  present  num- 
ber, with  the  view  of  paying  a  tribute  to  the  memory  of  his  late 
bosom  companion,  whose  untimely  demise  was  noticed  a  few 
weeks  since,  during  his  absence.  Though  nothing  can  be  said 
that  will  rescue  from  the  power  of  the  grave  the  friends  that  we 
love,  after  the  relentless  hand  of  death  hath  been  laid  upon 


THE  PHILANTHROPIST.  397 

them,  still  we  may  be  permitted  to  breathe  our  last  adieu,  in 
obedience  to  the  mandates  of  true  and  genuine  affection. 

Esther  Lundy  was  born  in  the  county  of  Chester,  in  the  State 
of  Pennsylvania,  on  the  26th  day  of  the  3d  month,  1793.  She 
was  the  eldest  daughter  of  Henry  Lewis,  who  removed  with 
his  family  to  the  State  of  Ohio,  in  the  early  settlement  of  that 
part  of  the  country,  where  he  still  resides.  She  had  a  birth- 
right in  the  Society  of  Friends,  which  she  retained  until  the 
dav  of  her  death.  Since  we  formed  our  matrimonial  connex- 
ion, it  has  frequently  been  my  lot  to  be  from  home,  for  many 
months  at  a  time.  And  in  consequence  of  the  peculiar  duties 
of  my  calling,  since  I  have  been  in  a  public  line  of  business,  I 
several  times  found  it  necessary  to  change  my  place  of  resi- 
dence. All  this  must  have  occasioned  some  trials  to  my  wife ; 
and  in  addition  thereto,  she  was  for  several  years  of  the  latter 
part  of  her  life  severely  afflicted  with  a  rheumatic  complaint, 
that  sometimes  appeared  to  her  with  imminent  danger.  Yet 
amidst  every  difficulty,  and  under  every  afflictive  dispensation, 
she  evinced  an  unusual  degree  of  fortitude,  for  one  of  her  sex. 
Whenever  it  fell  to  my  lot  to  be  called  from  home,  and  what- 
ever might  be  the  state  and  condition  of  her  health,  she  uniform- 
ly and  cheerfully  gave  her  consent  thereto;  observing  that  she 
could  not  find  a  freedom  in  urging  anything  as  a  hinderance  to 
the  success  of  my  labours  in  the  cause  of  philanthropy.  It  may 
truly  be  said  that  she  was  actuated  by  the  spirit  that  directs  the 
Christian  in  the  path  of  duty ;  and  that  the  irreparable  loss  of 
her  numerous  friends  and  relatives  is  her  eternal  gain.  She  has 
left  five  small  children,  in  addition  to  her  bereaved  husband,  to 
lament  her  untimely  death.  In  ordinary  cases  the  severance  of 
near  and  dear  connexions  by  the  cold  hand  of  death,  is  sufficient 
to  out-weigh  every  consideration  that  excites  the  pang  of  sor- 
row and  keen  regret.  Yet  when  this  is  attended  with  peculiarly 
distressing  circumstances,  the  barbed  arrow  of  grief  is  doubly 
])ointed,  and  the  mind  must  suffer  all  the  poignancy  of  deep 
and  heart-rending  affliction.  It  happened  at  a  time  when  every 
relative,  except  her  little  hapless  children,  was  absent,  that  the 
messenger  of  death  appeared  with  his  awful  summons.  Yet  she 
was  surrounded  with  Christian  neighbors,  who  spared  no  ex- 
ertions to  administer  the  balm  of  relief  in  the  hour  of  distress. 
But  alas!  what  could  they  do?  It  was  the  appointed  time  for 
her  to  receive  the  glorious  reward  of  her  many  virtues.     Her

Editorial  written  by  IJenjamin  T.undy  and  published  in  the 
Genius  on  September  6,  1828. 

More  than  seven  years  have  now  elapsed  since  the  first  num- 
ber of  The  Genius  of  Uniirrsal  Euiancipation  was  issued  from 
the  ])ress.  and  sent  abroad  to  take  its  luck  in  a  fault-finding 
world  and  stand  or  fall  l)y  its  own  merits  alone.  No  hireling 
prints  were  employed  to  trumpet  a  fame  which  it  never  deserv- 
ed. Xo  associations  of  wealthy  and  influential  individuals 
were  formed  for  the  purpose  of  giving  it  a  circulation  or  pop- 
ularity which  its  own  character  could  not  sustain  or  extend. 
Its  pecuniary  prospects  all  grew  out  of  barely  six  individual 
subscriptions ;  and  its  success,  in  every  other  respect,  w^as  left 
to  grow  out  of  its  own  little  self,  with  this  hmited  circulation. 
But  this  was  not  the  only  dif^culty  with  which  it  was  doomed 
to  grapple.  Many  of  the  declared  friends  of  emancipation,  dis- 
trusting its  slender  hold  u])on  the  favour  of  the  people,  de- 
nounced the  attempt  as  "wild  and  Quixotic."  The  "great 
mass"  looked  "askance"  at  a  project  so  novel :  while  interested 
knaves  poured  forth  their  vollies  of  wrath  and  seasoned  their 
execrations  with  threats  by  no  means  creditable  to  themselves 
or  flattering  to  the  editor. 

Nothing  but  a  firm  conviction  of  the  correctness  of  our 
views,  the  justice  of  our  cause  and  the  rectitude  of  our  inten- 
tions, could  have  sustained  us  in  our  undertaking,  during  the 
earliest  stages  of  this  discouraging  conflict. 

Rut  the  fates  have  decreed  that  "perseverance  in  well-doing 
shall  be  rewarded."  (  )ur  ])aper  has  worked  its  way  through 
nian\-  opposing  difficulties,  and  gradually  extended  and  in- 
creased its  ])atronage.  .\nd  we  now  have  the  ])leasure  to  say 
ihat  it  is  supported  by  many  of  the  most  exemplary  and  in- 
fiueiitial  men — both  political  and  religious — in  the  I'nited 
States.  The  immense  pecuniary  sacrifices,  however,  which 
have  been  necessarily  made  to  sustain  it  thus  far.  have  not  been 
sufficiently  repaired  to  give  it  that  independent,  firm,  and  dig- 
nified character  which  its  advocates  might  wish. 

The  difficulties  to  he  encountered  in  ct^nducting  a  periodical 


THE  PHILANTHROPIST.  399 

like  this  are  numerous  and  appalling.  Each  man  who  lend> 
his  support  thinks  that  he  thereby  obtains  an  unqualified  right 
to  chalk  out  the  course  to  be  pursued  by  its  conductor.  And 
as  opinions  relative  to  this  course  are  various  and  conflicting,, 
we  must  reject  all  but  our  own,  and  adopted  it  as  a  rule  of 
conduct. 

Some  of  our  subscribers  who  believe  that  the  condition  of  the 
African  race  is  materially  involved  in  the  ensuing  Presiden- 
tial election,  urge  us  to  devote  a  larger  portion  of  our  paper, 
at  this  eventful  period,  to  that  important  subject, — others, 
again,  when  they  discover  the  most  distant  allusion  to  a  "purely 
political"  question  of  this  kind,  very  gravely  order  us  to  strike 
their  names  from  our  list,  and  assign  for  a  reason  that  we 
have  "abandoned  our  first  principles  and  commenced  the  pub- 
lication of  a  political  paper."

sohition  of  the  partnership  with  William  Lloyd  Garrison. 

The  Genius  has  been  a  weekly  publication ;  it  is  now  reduced 
to  a  monthly.  The  amiable  writer  alluded  to  was  the  poetess. 
Elizabeth  Margaret  Chandler,  who  was  for  several  years  assist- 
ant editor  of  the  Genius. 

THE  EDITOR  TO  THE  PUBLIC. 

Again  I  find  myself,  alone,  at  the  editorial  desk;  and  again 
I  resume  a  monthly  correspondence  with  the  readers  of  The 
Genius  of  Universal  Emancipation.  I  yet  hope  to  have  the  as- 
sistance of  an  amiable  and  talented  writer  whose  services  in 
the  cause  are  invaluable,  but  the  care  and  responsibility  of  the 
publication  depend  entirel}-  upon  myself. 

Nine  years  have  nearly  elapsed  since  this  work  first  made  its 
appearance.  During  that  period  I  have  witnessed  many  vicis- 
situdes in  the  affairs  of  life,  have  experienced  something  of 
the  fickleness  of  fortune  and  a  goodly  share  of  what  the  world 
calls  hardship  and  privation.  From  the  commencement  until 
very  lately,  however,  it  gradual!}-  increased  in  size,  and  it  is 
believed  in  interest.  The  many  difficulties  that  presented  them- 
selves have  occasionally  produced  some  irregularity. in  its  pub- 
lication ;  and  this,  together  with  the  unjwpularity  of  the  subject 


400  BENJAMIN   LUNDY 

upon  which  it  treats,  in  a  portion  of  the  country,  and  the  gen- 
eral apathy  among  those  who  are  friendly  to  the  undertaking, 
have  i)revented  as  extensive  a  circulation  as  had  been  antici- 
pated, riu'  strong  desire  that  I  have  ever  felt  to  contribute  my 
n.ile  towards  the  promotion  of  the  good  cause,  has  induced  me 
not  only  to  make  great  exertions  to  issue  a  weekly  publication 
devoted  to  it  but  also  to  render  what  assistance  I  could  in  every 
other  way.  But  I  find  that  the  people  are  not  prepared  to  go 
with  me  quite  so  far.  To  s])eak  in  phrase  a  la  militaire,  I  am 
too  near  the  entrenchments  of  the  enemy. — and,  of  course,  like 
a  prudent  soldier,  must  retreat  a  little,  until  our  troops  can 
"screw  up  their  courage"  somewhat  more.  That  they  will  ere 
long  go  farther  I  feel  well  assured ;  and  I  shall  still  "fight  on," 
and  "keep  the  faith,"  hoping  and  believing  that  a  glorious  vic- 
tory will  ultimately  crown  our  efforts.  That  T  shall  yet  have 
a  severe  struggle  for  a  time,  even  with  the  monthly  publica- 
tion, is  to  be  expected:  and  T  submit  it  to  the  con- 
sideration of  those  who  profess  a  willingness  to  aid 
in  promoting  the  work  of  emancipation  —  those  who 
approve  the  course  I  have  pursued  —  whether  it  be 
reasonable  or  just,  that  I  should  be  subjected  to  in- 
conveniences and  hardships  almost  intolerable  w^hen  they  are 
equally  as  much  interested  in  the  njatter  as  I  am  myself,  and 
have  it  in  their  power,  by  giving  a  little  further  assistance,  to 
relieve  me  from  a  portion  of  the  burden  and  enable  me  to  labor 
much  more  efficiently  for  the  attainment  of  our  great  and  im- 
portant object. 

T  do  not  wish  to  speak  boastfully  of  what  T  have  done,  or 
essayed  to  do.  in  advocating  the  question  of  African  Emanci- 
pation ;  and  T  do  detest  the  idea  of  making  a  cringing  appeal  to 
the  public  for  aid  in  my  undertaking.  T  am  willing  to  work : 
and  can  support  myself  and  family  by  my  own  labor.  Rut 
after  a  ten  years'  struggle  to  promote  the  cause  to  the  best  of 
my  humble  abilities,  and  in  every  possible  manner,  it  may  not 
be  amiss  to  inform  those  who  take  an  interest  in  this  publica- 
tion, that  T  have  fwithin  the  period  mentioned)  sacrificed 
several  thousand  dolllars  of  my  own  hard  earnings,  have 
travelled  upwards  of  five  thousand  miles  on  foot,  and  more 
than  twenty  thousand  in  other  ways ;  have  visited  nineteen  of 
the  states  of  this  Union  and  held  more  than  two  hundred  pub- 
lic meetings,  with  the  view  of  making  known  our  object,  &c. : 


THE  PHILANTHROPIST.  401 

and  in  addition  to  this,  have  performed  two  voyages  to  the 
^^'est  Indies,  by  which  means  the  hberation  of  a  considerable 
mimljcr  of  slaves  has  been  effected,  and  I  hope  the  way  has 
been  paved  for  the  enlargement  of  many  more. 

What  efifect  this  work  has  had  in  turning  the  attention  of 
the  public  to  the  subject  of  the  abolition  of  slavery,  it  would 
not  become  me  to  say,  though  I  have  carefully  noted  every- 
thing relative  thereto  that  came  within  the  range  of  my  obser- 
vation. 

Of  this,  others  who  have  acquainted  themselves  with  the 
matter  must  judge.  But  I  am  fully  persuaded  that  something 
of  the  kind  is  greatly  needed  and  may  be  instrumental  in  doing 
much  good. 

There  is  not  another  periodical  work,  published  by  a  citizen 
of  the  United  States,  whose  conductor  dare  treat  upon  the  sub- 
ject of  slavery  as  its  nature  requires  and  its  importance  de- 
inands. 

And  viewing  the  matter  in  this  light,  I  shall  persevere  in  my 
efforts,  as  usual,  while  the  means  of  doing  it  are  afforded,  or 
until  more  efficient  advocates  of  the  cause  shall  make  them- 
selves known.  I  shall  now^  devote  my  undivided  attention 
to  this  publication,  and  endeavor  to  make  it  as  in- 
teresting as  possible.  I  will  neither  be  cajoled  by  the 
smiles  nor  awed  by  the  frowns  of  any  to  a  derelic- 
tion of  principle  or  an  abandonment  of  the  cause.  My 
humble  exertions  shall  be  directed  to  the  one  great  end — 
my  whole  self  shall  be  devoted  to  the  holy  work — my  march 
shall  be  steadily  ouzvard;  and  neither  sectarian  pride,  party 
zeal,  nor  even  persecution  itself,  from  the  "powers  that  be,"  or 
that  may  be,  shall  turn  me  to  the  right  hand  or  to  the  left.  If 
I  obtain  a  reasonable  patronage  for  the  work,  it  shall  go  on. 
upon  the  principle  that  it  has  ever  done  when  under  my  imme- 
diate direction,  notwithstanding  all  the  opposition  that  tyranny 
and  malice  can  array  against  it,

'■.\n_\  one  who  will  examine  John  (Juincy  Adams's  speecli 
on  Texas,  in  1838,  will  sec  that  he  was  only  seconding  the  full 
and  able  exposure  of  the  Texas  plot,  prepared  by  Benjamin 
l.undy,  to  one  of  whose  pamphlets  Dr.  Channing  in  his  'Letter 
to  Henry  Clay'  has  confessed  his  obligation,  livery  one  ac- 
quainted with  those  years  will  allow  that  the  North  owes  its 
earliest  knowledge  and  first  awakening  on  that  subject  to  Mr, 
Lundy  who  made  long  journeys  and  devoted  years  to  the  in 
vestigation.  His  (Lundy's)  labors  have  this  attestation  that 
they  ((uickened  the  zeal  and  strengthened  the  hands  of  such 
men  as  Adams  and  Channing.  I  have  been  told  that  Mr. 
Lundy  prepared  a  brief  for  Mr.  Adams  and  furnished  him 
the  materials  for  his  'S]:)eech  on  Texas.'  "

Eulogy  on  Benjamin  Lundy.  written  by  Thomas  Earle  and 
f'ublished  as  introductory  paragraphs  to  "Earle's  Life  of 
Lundy." 

"It  has,  perhaps,  been  too  often  the  province  of  Biography  to 
record  the  achievements  of  the  heroes  of  the  sword — of  those 
whose  principal  distinction  arose  from  the  torrents  of  blood 
they  had  caused  to  flow,  from  the  number  of  widows  and  or- 
phans they  had  made,  and  from  the  extent  of  the  countries 
which  they  had  devastated  or  enslaved,  with  no  better  motive 
than  that  principle  of  self-aggrandizetncnt  wliich  actuates  the 
thief,  the  robber  and  the  pirate. 

"Our  enterprise  is  of  a  different  character.  Its  purpose  is 
to  record  the  deeds  of  a  hero  of  the  soul — of  one  who  toiled  in- 
cessantly, and  patiently  endured  every  privation  in  order  that 
he  might  heal  the  \vounds  which  tyranny  had  inflicted  ;  that  he 
might  bind  up  the  hearts  which  avarice  had  rent :  that  he 
might  sanctify  the  rights  of  consanguinity :  that  he  might  se- 
cure to  labour  its  just  reward,  to  virtue  its  due  protection,  to 
ilie  rights  of  man  their  full  enjoyment,  to  human  intellect  its 
freedom  of  expansion,  to  life  the  shield  of  just  laws:  and  that 
he  might  elevate  his  race  to  a  more  full  conformity  to  that  re- 
ligion which  teaches  peace  on  earth  and  good  will  to  meii."

There  was  an  article  publislied  in  The  Independent  in  1868 
on  The  Anti-Sla^■erv  Labors  of  Ik'njaniin  Lnndy,  which  article 
consisted  of  two  contributed  letters,  with  some  comments 
thereon  by  the  eflitor  of  the  paper.  One  of  these  letters  was 
written  by  Mrs.  Susan  M.  Wierman.  and  gave  a  short  history 
of  The  Genius:  T  do  n.ot  reprint  Mrs.  Wierman's  letter  for  It 
contains  no  new  facts.  The  other  letter  was  written  by  Mr. 
Thomas  H.  Genin.  an  aged  citizen  of  St.  Clairsville.  Ohio,  who 
sjieaks  from  personal  knowledge  concerning  the  beginning  of 
Renjamin  Lundy's  ])ublic  career,  concerning  Lundy's  success 
in  organizing  the  I'nion  Humane  Society,  and  concerning  the 
character  of  the  work  carried  on  by  that  association.  I  reprint 
Mr.  Genin. 's  letter  in  full. 

St.  Clair-Sville,  O.,  March  25,  1867. 
To  the  Editor  of  The  Independent  : 

In  your  notice  of  Leutze's  intent  to  paint  the  emancipators 
(January  3.  1867),  you  say,  "William  Lloyd  Garrison  is  the 
I-ioneer  and  founder  of  the  grand  moral  movement  which  gen- 
erated the  public  sentiment  in  obedience  to  which  slavery  in  the 
United  States  was  abolished."  I  would  not  detract  from  him. 
Init  would  allow  the  just  claiius  of  others.  Garrison  could  have 
l^een  scarce  eleven  vears  old  when  Benjamin  Lundy  assembled 
by  his  importunity  some  persons  who  had  virtue  in  abundance 
but  rusty  for  want  of  use.  at  the  tavern  of  William  Sharpless. 
in  St.  Clairsville.  Ohio, — among  them  Charles  Hammond,  sub- 
sequently of  the  Cincinnati  Gazette — to  form  an  abolition 
association  under  the  name  of  "The  Union  Humane  Society." 

The  record  of  their  proceedings,  in  Lundy's  handwriting,  is 
before  me.  It  is  without  date,  but  the  34th  article  of  the  con- 
stitution they  adopted  provides  that  "All  persons  who  subscribe 
this  constitution  on  or  before  the  20th  day  of  April,  t8t6,  shall 
meet  at  Mt.  Pleasant  on  that  day  for  the  purpose  of  organizing 
the  societv." 

lender  this  constitution,  by  Lundy's  exertions,  eight  local 
associations  were  formed,  which  sent  delegates  semi-annuallv 
to  ^It.  Pleasant  for  several  years,  and  the  central  society  was 
represented  by  delegates  to  the  Abolition  Convention  held  in 
Philadelphia.     I  was  a  delegate  in  1819. 

The  inhabitants  of  St.   Clairsville.   Ohio,   indulged   in  some 


404  BENJAMIN    LUNDY 

pleasantries  at  Lundy's  efforts  in  1818,  '19  and  '20,  to  sell  his 
little  house  in  that  town  for  the  purpose,  as  he  said,  of  getting 
means  to  publish  an  abolition  paper.  In  the  latter  part  of  1820 
he  arranged  to  have  such  a  paper  printed  at  Mt.  Pleasant,  called 
The  Genius  of  Universal  Emancipation.  The  enclosed  letter 
of  Mrs.  Susan  M.  Wierman,  of  Magnolia,  Putnam  county.  Til., 
eldest  daughter  of  Mr.  TAindy,  gives  its  history. 

Mr.  Lundy  sold  his  house  in  St.  Clairsville,  closed  his  sad- 
dlery shop,  issued  The  Genius  of  Universal  Emancipation,  de- 
voted himself  soul,  body,  and  business,  to  the  cause  of  abol- 
itionism from  the  year  1815  until  his  death  in  1839.  He  pub- 
lished the  first  abolition  paper,  commencing  January,  1821.  and 
continued  it  with  little  interrruption  for  nineteen  years.  He 
lectured  and  traveled  much,  and  urged  others  to  aid  the  cause. 
Not  the  least  of  his  triumphs  is  his  bringing  Mr.  Garrison  into 
the  field.  This  recruit  has  done  him  distinguished  honor, 
though  he  did  not  appear  in  arms  until  Lundy  had  been  thir- 
teen years  engaged — eight  years  as  an  editor  and  five  as  an 
efficient  agitator  in  other  respects.  As  a  fruit  of  his  agitation. 
T  send  for  Mr.  Tilton's  inspection  an  oration  of  May  14,  i8t8, 
of  which  the  "Union  Humane  Society"  distributed  a  large 
edition.  It  aims  to  remove  prejudices  against  negroes,  and  its 
arguments  seem  as  much  needed  now  as  then.

Extract  from  the  History  of  the  Ignited  States,  by  Dr.  H. 
von  Hoist ;  Vol.  II.,  pages  81-82. 

The  immediate  precursor  and.  in  a  certain  sense,  the  father 
of  the  abolitionists  was  Benjamin  Lundy  a  Quaker,  born  in 
New  Jersey.  In  Wheeling,  West  Virginia,  where  he  learned 
the  saddler's  trade,  he  had  ample  opportunity  to  become  ac- 
quainted w^ith  the  horrors  of  slavery  as  great  cargoes  of  slaves 
on  their  way  to  the  southern  states  frequently  passed  the  place. 
Lundy  had  been  endeavoring  for  some  years  to  awaken  an  ac- 
tive interest  among  his  neighbors  in  the  hard  lot  of  the  slaves 
when  the  Missouri  question  brought  him  to  the  resolve  to  con- 
secrate his  whole  life  to  their  cause. 

In  1821  he  began  to  publish  The  Genius  of  Universal  Eman- 
cipation, which  is  to  be  considered  the  first  abolition  organ. 
The  XlXth  century  can  scarcely  point  to  another  instance  in 


THE  PHILANTHROPIST.  4^5 

which  the  commandment  of  Christ  to  leave  all  things  and  fol- 
low Him  was  so  literally  construed  and  followed. 

Lundy  gave  up  his  flourishing  business,  took  leave  of  his 
wife  and  of  his  two  dearly  beloved  children  and  began  a  rest- 
less wandering  life,  to  arouse  consciences  everywhere  to  a 
deeper  understanding  of  the  sin  and  crime  of  slavery. 

XXII. 

A  list  of  books  and  printed  articles  relating  to  Benjamin 
Lundy,  the  philanthropist. 

The  Life,  Travels  and  Opinions  of  Benjamin  Lundy,  includ- 
ing his  j.ourneys  to  Texas  and  Mexico;  with  a  sketch  of  co- 
temporary  events,  and  a  notice  of  the  Revolution  in  Hayti. 
Compiled  under  the  direction  and  on  behalf  of  his  children. 
Philadelphia:  Published  by  William  D.  Parish,  1847.  [Com- 
piled by  Thomas  Earle.] 

Thomas  Earle  was  a  lawyer  and  an  abolitionist,  and  in  the 
presidential  campaign  of  1840  had  been  the  candidate  of  the 
Liberty  Party  for  Vice-President  of  the  United  States.  He  was 
a  man  of  culture  and  at  the  time  of  his  death  was  engaged  in 
translating  Sismondi's  Italian  Republics.  He  had  known 
Lundy  personally ;  and  he  undertook  the  task  of  compiling  a 
biography  at  the  request  of  Benjamin's  half-sister,  Lydia  S. 
Wierman,  who  furnished  him  with  all  the  available  material. 


An  examination  of  Earle's  Life  of  Lundy  reveals  the  fact 
that  the  book  consists  of  three  parts;  namely,  (a)  Lundy's  per- 
sonal narrative  or  autobiography,  pages  13-31,  186-189,  copied 
iiearly  in  his  own  words  from  a  series  of  letters  written  in 
Illinois  by  Lundy  during  the  last  year  of  his  life  and  addressed 
to  a  young  Quaker  lady  in  Chester  county.  Pa.,  whom  he  had 
met  in  1838  and  to  whom  he  became  engaged  to  be  married; 
(b)  Lundy's  travels,  pages  31-186,  in  Texas  and  Mexico,  based 
on  a  journal  which  Lundy  kept  from  May  5,  1833,  to  July  3, 
1835;  (c)  Lundy's  opinions,  pages  189-303,  being  a  summary 
of  the  most  important  articles  printed  in  The  Genius  of  Univer- 
sal Emancipation,  drawn  from  the  files  of  that  periodical  and 
arranged  in  chronological  order.

SONNETS 

BY 

WILLIAM  LLOYD  GARRISON. 

I. 

To  Benjamin  Lundy 
The  early,  steadfast,  intrepid  advocatq  of  Emancipation. 

Self-taught,  unaided,  poor,  reviled,  contemned, 

Beset  with  enemies,  by  friends  betrayed, 
As  madman  and  fanatic  oft  condemned, 

Yet  in  thy  noble  cause  still  undismayed ! 
Leonidas  thy  courage  could  not  boast ; 

Less  numerous  were  his  foes,  his  hand  more  strong; 
Alone,  unto  a  more  than  Persian  host, 

Thou  hast  undauntedly  given  battle  long. 
Nor  shalt  thou  singly  wage  the  unequal  strife; 

And  to  thy  aid  with  spear  and  shield  I  rush. 
And  freely  do  I  offer  up  my  life 

And  bid  my  heart's  blood  find  a  wound  to  gush ! 
New  volunteers  are  trooping  to  the  field — 

To  die  we  are  prepared,  but  not  an  inch  to  yield. 

II. 

To  THE  Memory  of  Benjamin  Lundy. 

Thank  God  that,  though  thy  body  Death  hath  slain, 

Thy  quenchless  spirit  nothing  could  subdue; 

That,  though  thou  art  removed  from  mortal  view, 
Thou  livest  evermore — and  not  in  vain ! 
Our  loss  is  but  thine  everlasting  gain ! 

Of  Freedom's  friends,  the  truest  of  the  true 

Wast  thou,  as  all  her  deadly  foes  well  knew ! 
For  bravely  her  good  cause  thou  didst  maintain. 
No  threats  could  move,  no  perils  could  appal. 

No  bribes  seduce  thee,  in  thy  high  career : 
O,  many  a  fettered  slave  shall  mourn  thy  fall, 

And  many  a  ransomed  one  let  drop  the  tear ; 
A  nation  wakened  by  thy  trumpet-call — 

The  world  itself — thy  memorv  shall  revere !

ARMSTRONG  FAMILY. 

Nathan  Armstrong,  an  early  settler  of  Warren  county,  New- 
Jersey,  was  born  about  17 17,  near  Londonderry  in  the  province 
of  Lister,  Ireland.  He  was  a  linen  weaver  by  trade,  a  Scotch- 
Irishman  by  race,  and  a  Protestant  by  religious  faith. 

He  came  to  America  about  1740  and  made  his  way  to  the 
northwestern  frontier  of  New  Jersey,  where  he  met  and  loved 
and  married  a  Scotch-Irish  maiden  named  Uphamy  Wright. 
He  bought  a  large  tract  of  uncleared  land,  built  a  log-cabin 
thereon  and  became  a  farmer,  and  continued  thereafter  during 
a  period  of  twenty-nine  years  to  enjoy  the  blessings  of  health 
and  home  and  the  rewards  of  industry  and  thrift.  He  repre- 
sented his  township  on  the  County  Board  of  Freeholders,  and 
was  one  of  the  original  incorporators  of  Christ  Church  at  New- 
ton, being  named  as  such  in  the  charter  granted  to  that  church 
in  1774  by  the  provincial  government.  He  died  August  ii, 
1777. 

Nathan's  homestead,  which  is  one  mile  northwest  of  John- 
sonburg  and  fourteen  miles  from  the  Delaware  Water  Gap, 
was  held  in  the  Armstrong  name  for  three  generations  (1748- 
1880),  a  period  of  132  years. 

Nathan  and  Uphamy  (Wright)  Armstrong  had  seven 
children ;  namely,  Elizabeth,  George  and  John,  William,  Mary, 
Hannah  and  Sarah.  Each  of  these  children  grew  to  maturity, 
married  and  has  descendants  living  at  the  present  time. 

Elizabeth  Armstrong,  the  eldest  child,  born  March  12,  1747, 
was  the  wife  of  Archibald  Stinson,  of  Danville,  N.  J. 

George  and  John  Armstrong  were  twins ;  George  married 
Sarah  Hunt,  and  John  married  Sarah  Stinson. 

William  Armstrong  married  in  1778  Elizabeth  Swayze, 
dwelt  at  Johnsonburg,  N.  J.,  and  left  four  daughters;  namely, 
Lydia,  the  wife  of  Abraham  Shafer,  Jr. ;  Euphemia,  the  wife 
of  John  T.  Bray ;  Mary,  the  wife  of  John  Casper  Roy ;  and 
Sarah,  the  wife  of  Ephraim  Green,  Jr. 

Mary  Armstrong  was  the  wife  of  Capt.  Robert  Beavers,  of 
Changewater,  Warren  county,  N.  J. 

Hannah  Armstrong  was  the  wife  of  Alexander  Linn,  and 
when  a  widow  removed  in  1800  with  her  six  children  to  Espy- 
ville,  Crawford  county,  Pa. 

Sarah  Armstrong  was  the  wife  of  Capt.  Abraham  Shafer, 
of  Stillwater,  Sussex  county,  N.  J.

A  Genealogical  Record  of  the  Descendants  of  Nathan  Ann-

LEWIS  FAMILY. 

Henry  Lewis  removed  from  eastern  Pennsylvania  to  Mt. 
Pleasant,  Ohio,  and  there  died  a  very  old  man.  He  had  ten 
ciiildren:  I.  Wiliam,  m.  Lydia  Stanton,  a  sister  of  Edmund 
M.  Stanton's  father;  they  had  one  daughter  who  is  now  Mary 
A.  Burns,  of  Ottawa,  Kansas;  and  this  Mary  has  one  daughter 
who  is  now  Esther  Lundy  Marsh.  William  and  Lydia  are 
buried  at  Clear  Creek,  III.  William's  house  was  one  of  the 
stations  on  the  underground  railroad,  and  he  took  many  a  slave 
on  the  road  to  freedom.  II.  Lewis  went  to  Illinois  with  his 
family  about  the  beginning  of  the  Civil  War;  his  children 
are  widely  scattered.  III.  Mary  died  unmarried.  IV.  Esther 
married  Benjamin  Lundy,  the  philanthropist;  see  page  254. 
V.  Catherine  died  in  1836,  unmarried.  VI.  Samuel  died  at  an 
advanced  age ;  many  of  his  grandchildren  live  at  Chesterville, 
Morgan  county,  Ohio.  VII.  Ann  m.  William  FuUerton,  of 
Clear  Creek,  111.  VIII.  Susan  m.  Johnson  Timberlake.  IX. 
Henry  died  unmarried.  X.  Elisha  married,  but  has  drifted  out 
of  the  knowledge  of  the  other  members  of  the  family. 

LUNDY  FAMILY. 

There  are  persons  in  the  United  States  and  Canada  who 
bear  the  Lundy  name  but  who  are  not  descended  from  Richard 
Lundy  the  First.  I  shall  mention  a  few  emigrators  who  in  re- 
cent years  have  come  from  various  parts  of  Europe  and  have 
established  in  America  small  Lundy  groups  unrelated  to  us 
j^nd  apparently  unrelated  to  each  other;  and  then  I  shall  enu- 
merate several  Lundy  groups,  older  and  more  extensive,  some 
of  which  may  have  descended  from  Richard  Lundy  the  First..

but  which  can  not  at  this  writini^-  be  located  definitely  on  tlic 
Lnndy  tree. 

Frederick  Lnndy,  a  lad  of  fourteen  years,  was  bronsht  to 
Long-  Island,  N.  Y.,  from  Bremen  Haven,  (^icrmany,  in  1838, 
by  the  Nostrand  famil}-.  Frederick  had  lost  both  his  parents 
when  a  child  and  had  been  reared  by  his  grandmother.  In  after 
years  he  wrote  several  times  to  Bremen  Haven  and  made  in- 
quiry about  his  ancestry,  l)ut  he  was  unable  to  gain  any  infor- 
mation. He  married  and  left  a  family;  among  his  children 
were  John,  Charles,.  Jerome,  Frederick,  Jr.,  and  Walter.  His 
sons  under  the  firm  name  of  Lundy  Brothers  now  control  the 
seafood  market  at  Manhattan  Beach,  Long  Island. 

Tindall  Lundy  and  his  son  James  R.  came  to  Canada  in  1849

Riley  Lundy,  of  North  Cove,  Yorkshire,  England. 

Francis  Henry  Lundy,  of  New  York  City,  came  to  America 
in  1855  from  Stockport,  Lancashire,  England.  His  brother

is  a  native  of  Stockholm,  Sweden,  and  came  to  America  in 
1876. 

Several  years  ago  a  Mr.  Lundy  came  from  Dublin,  Ireland, 
and  settled  in  Newark,  New  Jersey,  where  three  or  four  of  his 
married  sons  now  dwell.

SCHOOLEY  FAMILY. 

John  Schooley  is  the  earliest  name  in  the  genealogy  of  this 
family.  He  lived  and  died  in  Handsworth  Parish,  County  of 
York,  England.  His  wife's  name  was  Alice.  Two  of  their 
children  remained  in  England ;  four  emigrated  to  America  and 
settled  in  Burlington  county,  New  Jersey.  Children  of  John 
Schooley,  the  Englishman :  I.  ,  a  son,  mentioned  in  tra- 
dition, name  not  ascertained,  remained  in  England.  IT. 
Margaret,  mentioned  in  tradition,  m.  a  Mr.  Barber  and  had  a 
son  Charles  who  removed  to  the  City  of  Calcutta,  India.  TIL 
Robert,  mentioned  in  Smith's  History  of  New  Jersey;  accom- 
])anied  by  his  wife  and  children,  he  sailed  from  Hull  on  "The 
Shield,"  and  reached  Delaware  Bay  in  loth  mo.,  O.  S.,  1678: 
the  ship  moored  ofif  Burlington  for  the  night,  the  river  froze, 
and  the  next  morning  the  passengers  went  ashore  on  the  ice. 
Robert  is  mentioned  as  a  constable  in  1682.  Tradition  says 
that  Robert  came  from  Workshop,  in  the  county  of  Notting- 
ham. No  record  of  his  descendants.  IV.  Thomas,  mentioned 
in  Smith's  History  of  New  Jersey,  was  a  member  of  the  Farns- 
worth  Society  of  Friends  in  Yorkshire,  England ;  sailed  from 
Hull  on  the  Flie-boat  Martha  of  Bridlington,  and  reached  New 
Jersey  in  August,  1677 ;  married  Sarah  Parker  and  had  seven

children.  From  'Phonias  and  Sarah  liavc  descended  all  the 
Schooleys  thai  have  intermarried  with  tiie  Lundy  lines.  V. 
Mary,  who  in  1680  m.  John  Rogers ;  no  further  record.  VI. 
John,  Jr.,  whose  will  is  recorded  in  the  office  of  the  Secretary 
of  State  at  Trenton,  N.  J. ;  he  m.  ( i )  in  1696,  Rebecca  Ben- 
nett, and  (2)  in  171 1.  Frances  Taylor.  It  is  supposed  that 
Mary  and  John,  Jr.,  were  brought  to  America  l^y  their  older 
brother  Thomas ;  tradition  says  that  they  came  from  Aughton 
in  Yorkshire. 

Friends'  records  in  Burlington  county,  N.  J.,  show  that  a 
Sarah  Schooley  married  Caleb  Wheatley  on  5  of  9,  1696,  and 
that  a  Mary  Schooley  married  Joseph  Wright  in  1710;  but 
the  relationship  of  Sarah  and  Mary  to  the  other  Schooleys  is 
not  known. 

I  have  before  me  an  old  manuscrii)t  wherein  are  given  the 
traditions  once  current  among  the  Schooleys  of  New  Jersey 
concerning  Margaret  Schooley  of  England  and  her  eldest 
brother. 

Margaret's  brother  remained  in  England.  He  prospered 
and  accjuired  great  wealth  ;  but  he  died  leaving  no  issue,  so  that 
his  property  would  fall  to  his  three  brothers  who  had  emigrated 
to  New  Jersey.    This  is  known  as  the  Schooley  estate. 

Margaret  Schooley  married  a  man  by  the  name  of  Barber 
and  had  only  one  child,  a  son  named  Charles.  Charles  Barber 
became  a  fur  merchant,  settled  in  the  city  of  Calcutta,  in  India, 
and  made  a  large  fortune.  He  died  without  issue,  but  he  left 
a  will  and  gave  the  larger  portion  of  his  estate  to  his  mother, 
the  aforesaid  Margaret  Barber.  The  will  of  the  said  Charles 
Barber  is  recorded  in  the  Surrogate's  office  in  Calcutta ;  and 
also  in  England.  Finally  Margaret  herself  died  intestate,  and 
the  legal  title  to  the  whole  of  her  estate  passed  to  her  three 
brothers  who  had  emigrated  from  England  to  New  Jersey. 
This  is  known  as  the  Barber  estate. 

These  two  estates — the  Schooley  and  the  Barber — taken  to- 
gether, amount  to  twenty-seven  millions,  the  statement  of  the 
old  manuscript  on  this  point  being  very  definite  and  satisfac- 
tory. 

§  A.      THOMAS  SCHOOLEY,  EMIGRATOR. 

Thomas  Schooley  was  a  member  of  the  Society  of  Friends 
in  England  and  belonged  to  the  Farnsfield  Meeting  in  York-

West  Jersey  in  the  fall  of  1677 ;  see  Smith's  History  of  New 
Jersey,  page  102.  The  Farnsfield  Meeting  granted  him  a  cer-

son tract  on  Schooley's  Mountain,  from  ]\Ir.  De  Cou  on  Jan- 
uary 11,  1726.  Samuel  and  his  wife  Avis  being  described  as  of 
Bethlehem,  Hunterdon  county,  N.  J. ;  Samuel  continued  to  hold 
some  of  this  land  until  April  22.  1745.  on  which  date  he  sold 
the  remainder  to  William  Henn.  Samuel  also  purchased  a 
warrant  for  136  acres  of  land,  November.  1729.  and  sold  the 
same  to  William  Pew  in  March,  1733 :  said  land  being  near 
the  point  where  Morris,  Hunterdon  and  Warren  counties  meet. 
He  owned  land  also  in  Hunterdon  county,  near  Ouakertown, 
in  1743. 

On  10  of  4  mo.,  T729,  Thomas  Williams,  Samuel  Schooley 
and  others  made  application  to  the  Chesterfield  Monthly  Meet- 
ing of  Burlington,  N.  J.,  for  consent  to  meet  together  at  one 
of  their  houses  every  First  day  of  the  week  to  worship  God ; 
which  request  was  granted.  On  it  of  4  mo..  1754,  Josiah 
Dyer,  Richard  Lundy,  Senior,  and  Samuel  Schooley  were  ap-

pointed  by  the  Kingwood  iVlonthly  Meeting  to  visit  for  spirit- 
ual care  the  faniiHes  belonging  to  the  Hardwick  branch. 
Samuel  and  his  wife  Avis  were  among  the  first  body  of  elders 
appointed  for  the  monthly  meeting  in  1756.  He  died  in  1761. 
In  1768,  "at  the  request  of  Friends  of  Paulinskill,"  a  meeting 
for  worship  was  allowed  to  be  held  there  once  a  month  during 
the  winter  season  at  the  house  of  Avis  Schooley,  who  lived 
possibly  near  Stillwater.  In  1775  the  meeting  was  moved  to 
the  house  of  her  son  Benjamin  Schooley. 

A  list  of  six  of  the  children  of  Samuel  and  Avis  is  found  in  a 
manuscript  arithmetic  now  in  the  possession  of  A.  A.  Vance, 
of  Morristown,  N.  J.  The  years  of  birth  of  the  first  three  are 
illegible  but  can  be  approximately  conjectured. 

Children  of  Samuel  Schooley  and  Avis  Holloway :  I.  Asen-

will,  probated  in  1761,  left  all  his  property  to  his  wife.  Tradi- 
tion says  that  he  left  a  son  James  who  left  a  son  Joseph  (of 
Burlington  county,  N.  J.)  who  had  a  son  William  R.  Schooley.

The  will  of  Avis  Schooley  is  on  file  at  Burlington,  N.  J. ; 
but  there  is  a  copy  of  it  in  the  Sussex  office  at  Newton.  It  is 
dated  June  20,  1771,  and  was  probated  May  24,  1785.  In  it 
Avis  mentions  her  sons  Joseph,  Benjamin,  and  Samuel,  and  her 
daughter-in-law  Martha  (Lundy)  Schooley,  and  her  grand- 
daughters Ann  Simcock  and  Avis  Dyer. 

Tradition  states  also  that  Silas  Dell  and  Richard  Brotherton 
are  among  the  descendants  of  this  Samuel  and  Avis  Schooley,

and  that  the  said  Silas  and  Richard  are  in  the  same  degree  of 
removal  from  Samuel  as  Joseph  Schooley  of  Burlington  is.

For  nearly  all  the  data  given  herewith  concerning  the  family 
of  John  Schooley,  Jr.,  1  am  indehted  to  a  sketch  written  by 
Mr.  Barclay  White,  of  Mt.  Holly,  X.  J.,  and  printed  in  the 
proceedings  of  the  N.  J.  Historical  Society,  Vol.  19,  page  248. 

"John  Schooley,  Jr.,"  says  Mr.  White,  "was  the  son  of  John 
Schooley  of  Handsworth  i'arish,  County  of  York,  England. 
By  location  and  purchase  he  became  the  owner  of  615  acres  of 
land  in  the  township  of  Springfield,  Burlington  county,  New- 
Jersey.  L'pon  the  northerly  portion  of  said  plantation  he  built 
a  dwelling-house  having  walls  of  adobes  or  sunburnt  bricks, 
and  resided  there  until  his  death,  which  occurred  loth  mo.  17th, 
1725."  He  married  in  1697  Rebecca  Bennett,  daughter  of  Wil- 
liam and  Rebecca  Bennett,  of  Bucks  county,  Pa.,  and  sister  of 
Elizabeth  Bennett,  who  in  1684  had  married  Richard  Lundy

Air.  White,  I  add  the  following  details :  Samuel  Schooley  mar- 
ried Mary  Albertson  of  Warren  county,  N.  J.,  daughter  of 
Nicholas  Albertson  and  his  wife  Anglechea  Van  De  Water, 
and  granddaughter  of  Cornelius  Albertson,  a  merchant  of  Am- 
sterdam, Holland.  On  12  of  3  mo.,  1761,  Samuel  requested 
for  himself,  his  wife  and  his  two  daughters,  Phebe  Meyers  and 
Ann,  a  certificate  of  membership  from  the  Kingwood 
M.  M.,  in  Hunterdon  county,  N.  J.,  addressed  to  the  M.  M.  at 
Fairfax,  Virginia.  On  9  of  4  mo.,  1761,  Jonathan  Meyers  re- 
quested a  similar  certificate  for  himself  and  his  wife  (Phebe) 
and  children.  I  find  that  a  certificate  for  a  Schooley  was  taken 
about  1803  from  the  Goose  Creek  M.  AI.  in  Virginia  to  the 
Westland  M.  M.,  Pa. ;  also  that  a  family  by  the  name  of 
Schooley  took  a  certificate  of  membership,  before  1822,  from 
Fairfax  M.  M.  to  Short  Creek,  Harrison  county,  Ohio.  VHI.

SHOTWELL  FAMILY. 

Abraham  Shotwell,  the  founder  of  the  Shotwell  Family  in 
America,  was  in  Elizabethtown,  N.  J.,  as  early  as  1665.  Dur- 
ing the  ten  years  of  his  residence  there,  he  was  a  prominent  de- 
fender of  the  cause  of  the  settlers  in  opposition  to  Gov.  Philip 
Carteret  and  the  Lords  Proprietors  in  the  matter  of  oppressive 
quit-rent  exactions,  in  consequence  of  which  championship  his 
real  estate  was  confiscated  and  he  was  forced  to  retire  to  the 
neighboring  colony  of  New  York.  He  is  believed  to  have  died 
about  the  year  1680  on  Staten  Island.  John  Shotwell,  the  son 
of  Abraham,  recovered  in  1683  his  father's  confiscated  real 
estate  in  LTnion  county,  N.  J.  So  far  as  known,  John  was  the 
first  of  the  name  who  united  in  membership  with  the  Society  of 
Friends,  but  he  was  earnest  in  promoting  the  views  and  work 
of  that  Christian  denomination,  and  had  meetings  for  worship 
appointed  at  his  house  on  Staten  Island  before  his  final  removal 
to  New  Jersey.  He  was  a  resident  of  Woodbridge,  N.  J.,  at 
the  time  of  his  death  in  1718.  He  married  Mary  Bur- 
ton of  New  York,  in  1679,  and  had  at  least  four  children,  who 


456  SHOTWELL   FAMILY. 

are  mentioned  in  his  will;  namely,  two  sons,  John  (Jr.)  and 
Abraham,  and  two  daughters,  Elizabeth,  wife  of  John  Laing 
of  Piscataway,  and  Sarah,  wife  of  JJenjamin  Smith  of  Wood- 
bridge. 

John  Shotwell,  Jr.,  born  about  1686,  died  in  1762  at  his 
homestead,  Shotwell's  Landing,  on  the  left  bank  of  the  Rah- 
way  River,  where  he  had  located  about  the  year  1710,  having 
married  in  1709  Mary  Thorne,  Jr.  (1686-1763),  daughter  of 
Joseph  and  Mary  (Bowne)  Thorne,  of  Flushing,  Long  Island, 
and  granddaughter  of  that  distinguished  champion  of  religi- 
ous liberty,  John  Bowne,  who  suffered  persecution  under  Gov- 
ernor Peter  Stuyvesant,  being  sent  a  prisoner  to  Holland  for 
persistently  disregarding  the  Dutch  Governor's  placards  for- 
bidding the  harboring  of  Quakers  and  attendance  at  their  pro- 
hibited conventicles,  but  being  finally  set  at  liberty  by  the 
authorities  of  Amsterdam  and  permitted  to  return  bringing 
their  noteworthy  rebuke  to  the  colonial  officials  for  such  in- 
terference with  the  freedom  of  conscience  of  peaceable  and 
otherwise  lawabiding  colonists  who  were  not  hostile  to  the 
government,  nor  in  any  proper  sense  disturbers  of  the  public 
peace. 

Mary  (Thorne)  Shotwell's  maternal  grandmother  Hannah, 
wife  of  John  Bowne,  was  daughter  of  Robert  Feake,  of  Water- 
town,  Conn.,  and  his  wife  Elizabeth,  nee  Fones, — the  latter  a 
niece  of  Governor  John  Winthrop,  of  Boston. 

Benjamin  Shotwell,  born  1726,  youngest  son  of  John,  Jr., 
dwelt  also  at  Shotwell's  Landing,  and  died  there  in  1793.  He 
married  in  1746  his  mother's  cousin  Ame,  daughter  of  Richard 
and  Amy  (Bowne)  Hallet,  of  Newtown,  L.  L,  and  grand- 
daughter of  the  John  Bowne  mentioned  above  by  his  third  wife 
Sarah  Cock.  Amy's  paternal  grandfather,  William  Hallett, 
was  also  son  of  a  niece  of  Governor  John  Winthrop. 

r.rnjaniin  Shotwell's  large  family,  including  the  mother  of 
his  distinguished  namesake  Benjamin  Lundy,  were  thus  doubly 
descended  both  from  John  Bowne,  the  sturdy  Long  Island 
champion  of  religious  liberty,  and  from  Adam  Winthrop,  father 
of  the  Puritan  Governor  of  Massachusetts. 

Of  the  nine  children  of  Benjamin  and  Mary  (Thorne) 
Shotwell,  I  here  mention  four:  I.  Sarah,  m.  (i)  William 
Hamjjton  and  had  Benjamin.  William  and  Amy,  and  (2)  Jacob 
Lundy  II.;  see  page  167.     II.  Richard,  m.  Mary  Martin,  and

five  children,  among  whom  Ambrose  M.  and  Manly,  of  Con- 
cord, Mich.  III.  Benjamin,  Jr.,  m.  Bathsheba  Pound  and

Jr.  (page  314);  Thomas,  who  m.  (i)  Tamer  Lundy  (page 
183),  and  (2)  Hannah  Lundy  (page  276)  ;  Zachariah,  who 
m.  (i)  Elizabeth  Lundy  (page  302),  and  (2)  Edna  Lundy 
(page  276),  and  (3)  Elizabeth  H.  Lundy  (page  68);  and 
Amy,  who  m.  i\sa  VVillson,  son  of  Gabriel  and  Keziah.  lY. 
Elizabeth,  who  m.  Joseph  Lundy  and  had  one  son,  Benjamin 
Lundy  the  anti-slavery  agitator ;  see  page  253. 

Ambrose  M.  Shotwell,  of  Concord,  Mich.,  assisted  by  his 
brother  Manly,  has  thoroughly  investigated  the  genealogy  of 
the  Shotwell  Family  and  has  published  his  researches  in  a 
volume  entitled,  The  Annals  of  Our  Colonial  Ancestors;  or 
Our  Quaker  Forefathers  and  their  Posterity. 

STOCKTON  FAMILY. 

The  Stocktons  of  New  Jersey  have  been  distinguished  during 
many  years  for  their  ability  and  patriotism.  The  family  is  of 
English  origin,  and  was  founded  by  Richard  Stockton,  who 
with  his  wife  Abigail  came  to  America  previous  to  the  year 
1657  a"*^!  settled  at  Flushing,  Long  Island.  He  served  as  lieu- 
tenant in  a  company  of  cavalry,  but  afterwards  joined  the 
Society  of  Friends.  About  1690  he  removed  to  New  Jersey 
and  purchased  a  plantation  of  2,000  acres  in  Burlington  county, 
where  he  died  in  1707. 

Three  Lundy  men  married  Stocktons.  In  1773  Richard 
Lundy  IV.,  afterward  of  Virginia,  m.  Mary  Stockton,  daughter 
of  Daniel  (page  87)  ;  in  1779  Thomas  Lundy  II.,  afterward  of 
North  Carolina,  m.  Elizabeth  Stockton,  daughter  of  said 
Daniel  (page  250)  ;  and  in  1804  Amos  Lundy  of  Hunterdon 
county,  N.  J.,  m.  Abigail  Stockton,  daughter  of  John  (page 
271). 

The  lineage  of  Abigail  and  of  Mary  and  Elizabeth  will  now 
be  subjoined. 

First  generation.  Richard  and  Abigail  Stockton,  who  came 
from  England  and  had  several  children  :  Richard  IT.,  John,  Job,

settled  in  Hunterdon  county,  N.  J.,  and  had  at  least  one  son, 
Jacob,  whose  daughter  Ann  married  Isaac  Lundy ;  see  page 
270. 

IV.  Samuel  I.,  b.  i  of  5  mo.,  1681,  was  brought  to  America 
when  he  was  one  year  old,  married  Hester  Overton,  and  "de- 
l>arted  this  Life  in  America,  West  Jersey,  Hunterdon  county 
and  Kingwood  township,  the  19  day  of  12th  mo.,  1761,  in  the 
81  year  of  his  age  and  was  decently  interred  in  Friends  Bury- 
ing ground  at  Kingwood." 

Samuel  Willson  1.  in  1705  m.  Hester  Overton,  b.  26  of  10 
mo.,  1682,  daughter  of  Samuel  and  Hannah  Overton.  They 
settled  in  Chesterfield  township,  Burlington  county,  N.  J., 
where  a  family  of  eight  children  were  bom  to  them;  in  1730 
they  removed  to  Franklin  township,  Hunterdon  county. 

About  a  mile  southwest  of  the  village  of  Quakertown,  Hun- 
terdon county,  N.  J.,  stands  an  old  mansion.    It  is  built  of  stone 


WILLSON   FAMILY.  *•    -  461 

and  lii\oli  up  on  its  western  g-able  appears  the  inscription  "S  H 
^^  I735-"  Tlie  initials  are  those  of  Samuel  and  Hester  (Over- 
ton) Willson  who  builded  here  a  home  that  was  destined  to 
shelter  many  generations  of  their  descendants. 

The  house  gives  evidence  of  having  been  well  built ;  the  walls, 
laid  up  in  clay,  are  firm  and  solid  and  will  endure  perhaps  an- 
other century  if  no  ruder  hand  than  that  of  Time  be  laid  upon 
them.  The  enormous  chimneys  contain  almost  stone  enough 
to  build  a  moderate-sized  house.  In  the  western  gable  near  the 
date  stone  there  is  a  small  square  loop-hole  which  one  might 
suppose  had  been  intended  for  use  in  defending  the  castle 
against  the  attacks  of  Indians  were  it  not  for  the  fact  that  the 
owners  thereof  were  members  of  the  peace-loving  sect  called 
Quakers.  Running  along  the  exterior  walls  on  both  sides  is 
the  water-table ;  and  an  ancient  pent-house  protected  one  of  the 
doors.  The  partitions  of  the  interior  are  of  wood  and  are  pan- 
elled all  the  way  up  to  the  lofty  ceiling.  Originally  the  huge 
beams  were  exposed  to  view,  the  ceiling  being  a  comparatively 
recent  innovation.  Two  small  windows  set  quite  high  in  the 
thick  walls  admitted  but  scant  light  and  the  general  appearance 
must  have  been  somewhat  gloomy. 

The  great  fire-place  with  its  stock-hole  in  the  jamb  speaks 
eloquently  of  the  pleasures  of  the  olden  time,  for  here  the 
young  people  of  the  family  with  their  neighboring  cousins  and 
friends  gathered  around  to  enjoy  social  converse  and  innocent 
games. 

Among  the  many  relics  still  preserved  in  the  Willson  family 
is  a  large  cupboard  brought  from  England  in  1682  by  Robert 
Willson,  the  father  of  Samuel.  Other  mementos  are  the  ori- 
ginal deed  for  the  six  hundred  acres  of  land  dated  1730  and 
given  by  Jacob  Doughty  in  consideration  of  three  hinidred 
pounds  of  lawful  silver  money  of  the  King's  Dominions  in 
America,  the  marriage  certificate  of  James  and  Martha  (Laing) 
Willson  bearing  their  autographs  and  those  of  many  of  their 
relatives  and  friends,  inventories  of  estates,  vendue  lists,  and 
many  other  old  documents. 

But  the  oldest  and  most  interesting  souvenir  is  a  well  worn 
Bible,  the  several  portions  of  which  were  printed  at  diflferent 
dates  and  afterward  bound  together ;  the  last  part  is  dated  1618 
and  is  "The  Whole  Booke  of  Psalmes  collected  into  English 
Meeter  by  Thomas  Sternhold,  John  Hopkins  and  others,  with

apt  Xotcs  to  sinjT  thcni  withal."  Robert  Willson's  autop:raph 
appears  011  one  pai^e,  and  those  of  Samuel  and  his  sister  Rebecca 
on  another.
